For the 4th of July we went to Paducah, Ky to visit Mimi and Papa. We had so much fun. This is us at Fort Massac. It is a really cool old army fort right off of the Ohio river. We had a lot of fun climbing around inside the buildings.

Lambert's Home of the Throwed Rolls (you read it right)
While we were in Paducah we decided to drive about an hour to Sikeston, IL to go to Lambert's restraunt. The food was great and what is better than a restraunt that throws rolls at you. Darron thought this was the best place ever.

The kids playing in a race car.
Giddy-up Horse.
How do you steer this thing?

Forget the wagon. Go horsy go!!!

Downtown Paducah is so much fun in the summer. You can go down by the river and they have bands playing and the kids can color on the side walk. Just very old town feel.
Sliding in downtown.
After much walking and fun.
