FUN trip to St. Louis and Chicago

We just got back from a FABULOUS family vacation to the midwest. We toured all around... from St. Louis to Chicago and had a great time!

We started out touring the Anheuser Busch Brewing Company...



Then we drove to Jefferson city, Mo and toured the State Capitol building of Missouri...


We then drove up towards Iowa... and along the way we stopped at the Mark Twain caves in Hannibal, Mo...



We went to visit the Herbert Hoover house and grave site in West Branch, Iowa...



Then we went up to Chicago! We took a fantastic bus tour and saw lots of great sites...

And saw some awesome views from the top of the Sears Tower...


That night we went to a Cub's game... and Chris even caught a FOUL BALL!



We also took a boat tour of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan...

... and got soaked from the splashing waves on Lake Michigan...


The boys loved staying in hotel rooms...



After Chicago we drove down to Springfield, IL and toured the State Capitol of IL and saw lots of Abraham Lincoln sites too...




The last night we headed back to St. Louis and had a fantastic view of the Arch from our hotel...


We went up to the top of the Arch in the tiny little cars...



And had some amazing views...


Then we took a fun Riverboat Cruise up the Mississippi River...


Time to say goodbye to our rental car...

We had such a great trip!

March 2008 - fun, Easter, and Joshua's Birthday

LONG time since our last post... sorry! Time gets away quickly!

We kept busy in March...
Chris built a new sandbox for the boys in the back yard...


And we're still enjoying our trips to Disney!


We had fun dying Easter Eggs!


And had a wonderful EASTER!






We also celebrated Joshua's 3rd birthday!




The boys are growing up so fast!
