On our way across America we stopped in St. Louis to see the Momument to Westward Expansion (The St. Louis Arch). It is probably the place that I liked best to see during our whole trip. It was very cool. We then got to visit with Leslie and Tom. Ellen kept my kids entertained and Aspen keeps saying she wants to go back and visit again.
Next we stopped in Denver to visit Matt and Kristi and Andrew and Mandy. Hazel loved having someone her size to play with! Katie (the dog) was a little scary for her though. One day she get over it I'm sure.
We drove to Dinosaur National Monument next. But the quarry has been shut down due to structural damage and so we werent able to see anything. We did buy slushies from some local kids in Dinosaur, Colorado and take pictures with the dinosaur statues.(I wish they would have noted that in big letters on their web site. It was a long drive out of the way for a slushie.)
We finally made it to Jake's house in Idaho Falls. They kids had fun running through the sprinklers. We went fourwheeling (my boys' favorite activity) and huckleberry picking (which was short lived due to lots of poison ivy in the bushes); but the berries were great.
Katanya is the cutest little girl! I think she got fatter in the 3 days I saw her. She is such a good baby.
We had fun feeding the ducks on the Snake River.
Hazel and Cruz had fun too.
