Springfield is okay, but coming from a small town its a little harder to manuver. Springfield is a wonderful enviroment to be around though. I plan on attending one of the Colleges there and hope to plant my life there as well.

I absolutely loved the walking and hiking trails at the Springfield Missouri Nature Center. It was truly a nature walk where we saw deer, turkeys, geese, squirrels, chipmunks, rabits, birds and fish in a single outing.

Went to Bass Pro and Wonders of Wildlife. It was a nice adventure. We took one day and went to the park and the Missouri Conservation Center. Ice Skating was a lot of fun also.
