Day 9: Who wants a BONUS STOP???

The guy we were renting the camper from
can't pick up the camper until Tuesday.

Mom checked her schedule--
she doesn't have anything scheduled Monday.
We are still on summer vacay.
Sooo...

Mom and Dad surprised us and diverted our course
for St. Louis!!!

Mom, in her duties as co-pilot,
found the fastest route.

She got really nervous when we were suddenly
on farm backroads
crossing through the middle of nowhere.
It was rather picturesque!

And luckily, it worked!
We landed in Eureka safe and sound.

Dad thought our KOA looked oddly familiar.
Turns out, we were here before!
Our friends Tori and Patrick were married
at this very KOA in 2016.
How about that coincidence?

We were glad to get in early
and have a night to chill.
We swam

and rented the poorest-condition bikes we'd ever seen.
They had this cool 4 seater that 
we couldn't even get to pedal out of the parking lot!
So we settled for these.

They had a lollipop hunt.
We had no idea what that meant
so we had to check it out.
It's like an Easter egg hunt,
but with dum-dums

We'll never have to buy
suckers for happy hikers again!

We've had a lot of s'mores on this trip

but tonight's were some of the best

Maybe it's because everything tastes better
on BONUS vacation!
