St. Louis!!!

We left the Eklins house yesterday morning around 9 a.m. Thanks Katie for everything!! It was so good to see Katie, Julie and Lyndsy and the kiddos and the hubby's! Katie had everyone over for dinner (a delicious meal!!) and we all hung out....so much fun because I don't get to see them often and miss them dearly!!

We arrived in St. Louis yesterday around 3 p.m. Papa, (Allan's dad) met us at the hotel and we headed downtown to the Arch. When we got there the tours to the top were all sold out.....I was kinda glad because I started getting real nervous about going up there....forgot how tall the Arch was. HA! So we walked around the museum for a while and Aidan really enjoyed seeing all the stuffed bears and wildlife and the old guns used back in the day....imagine that. lol After that we walked through the park and were on our way to dinner when we all decided that it would be fun to just eat at the ball park.....so we had hot dogs, nachos, french fries, cotton candy, ice cream, beer (not Aidan and I)......needless to say I think we all were feeling a little full!! Papa had gotten us great seats......Aidan even made it to the 8th inning!! We were all schocked....Papa's bet was teh 3rd inning, I said the 5th inning, and Allan said the 4th inning....he proved us all wrong!! He was a trooper!! Oh, and the Cardinals beat the Cubs last night.....I was sad, but that's okay, we still had tons of fun!!

Thanks Billy for everything yesterday....we had a fabulous time!!

I will be uploading our pics on our road trip today and post them tonight. We are headed to Cleavland, Ohio.....it will be a long journey today.

First we are making a stop in Columbia, IL to visit my old friend April....I'm soooo excited, I haven't see her in 9 years!

Bon Voyage!! Love ya'll!!
