St Louis!!!

CITY MUSEUM
This place was UNBELIEVABLE!! It should seriously be a "Wonder" of the US. Before you die you HAVE to go this place!!! These pictures don't even do it justice. It was the COOLEST place I have EVER been!!! We spent the entire day there and it wasn't enough!! My kids can't stop talking about it!!

Ever seen a TWO HEADED snake?!!!

This turtle LOVED the camera!! It just wanted some attention!

Apparently Josie got cold in the middle of the night and I just had to take a picture of her!!

THE ARCH
The first day we went to the arch which was right across from our hotel... beautiful view!! We spent the about 5 hours there. There is a museum, and a couple movies you can see. We waited in line for about 2 and 1/2 hours but it was well worth it for this view!!!

View straight on

View right

View straight down!! Scary!!

Gorgeous!! We stayed at the Hyatt in this picture and the location and views were phenomenal!! This is downtown and I just LOVE this picture!!

Thanksgiving...

Our Thanksgiving was fabulous!! Quiet, relaxing and filled with great memories. My dad came out to visit and a couple of friends came over. I hosted, it was my first time. It turned out pretty great if I do say so myself! Here is the highlight of the evening... Cooper waited days to smash this whip cream pie into grandpas face!
