There were a couple riverboats on the water but our favorite we I was a kiddo, the McDonald's riverboat, was no longer there :( I asked a park ranger and he said it hadn't been around since the flood of 1993.

God really blessed us last nught finding our hotel room. We wanted to travel to Columbia, MO to stay because it would let us sleep in a bit this morning before we head to the arch.
We had a coupon book from the gas station and tori called a bunch of the hotels and they said they were all filled up because there was a college graduation.
Then she tried one more hotel the Travel Lodge, they told her they only had one room left and it was 95 dollars! Then without asking the lady offered the room to us for 54 dollars if we booked it right there on the phone so we did. I was a bit nervous b/c who knows what the hotel looked like. I spoke in tongues as we drove in knowing that God has his hedge of protection around us and we wouldn't have to stay at a dump. Lol the hotal was nice but I would have never paid 95 dollars to stay there.
It is great to see God meet our need of a decent room then blessed above and beyond financially. And we didn't even have to use a coupon (rosie :))

With all changes it was incredible to have found it over 20 years later. My sister, Rebecca and I stuck our hands in there in 1985. You can't read or see the prints very well but WOW what a treasure!

We knew there would be a new playgroun but we were astonished to see our old euipment still there.
The pond looked good where I remember having fishing derbys and feeding the ducks.
