St. Louis

After Illinios we headed over to St. Louis to see some cousins that we haven't seen in 10 years. Oh it was so good to see them and they have four awesome children that our kids just got along with so well. Why do we we wait so long to see family? Anyways like every other day of our vacation we crammed as much in as we possibly could! First we HAD to go to the arch and of course we HAD to go to the top. It was funny too cause we had one dad (Brett) two mom with 7 red headed children. When asked where we were from Brett said Utah. I am sure that guy was like oh so they are that kind of Utahans....that was fun. By the way other than these tiny little windows to look out of there is nothing inside the arch. But it was still fun to go up!

After they arch we headed over to the botanical gardens and had some lunch and let the kids play and work off some of there being cramped in a car energy. 

After a long fun day we stopped for some ice cream, I can't remember the name but some famous place along Route 66. Definitely family here some things you just can't deny they could almost be siblings!
