When we first arrived in Joplin we received a brochure from a friend full of fun things to do in Joplin. Here are a few of the things we did before Trevor started rotations. We've truly enjoyed our time here.
Grand Falls is about ten minutes from our home. It is such a beautiful place to go. While we were there we got to see a gentleman catch a huge snapping turtle and try to place it in his trunk. The boys loved seeing the turtle, walking on the rocks and watching the water flow over the falls.
When we arrived at our home for the first time we were so shocked to find a huge basket full of essential household items, the fridge full of food and a note on the fridge that said welcome Home!! It definitely made us feel like we'd made the right decision.
The Joplin Museum Complex is full of things pertaining to the history of Joplin, including a mineral museum. Joplin once was a huge mining town.
Wildcat Glades Conservation & Audubon Center-Great place to take kids. Beautiful nature trails, a huge aquarium, reptiles, and other fun things.
The Candy House-YUM!! We had the opportunity of watching them make chocolates, then we got to taste the chocolates and finally we were able to purchase some decision candy. The boys were in Heaven!!!
