A good day for a hike

This morning we took a long hike in Castlewood State Park.  It was a good day for a hike.  We hike up to the bluff where we can see for miles.

 Then we hiked down to the field.  We saw some deer there.  I watched them.  Jim doesn't want me to mess with the deer.  I was very good.

I got to get a drink from the creek then take a little swim.

It is St. Louis's 250th birthday.  That is really, really old.  There are 250 birthday cakes all around St. Louis.  They are not really cake.  They are made of wood and paint.  But they look like cakes.  There is a cake in Castlewood State Park.
