Missouri and Illinois

Some fun signs we saw on the way to St. Louis.

The St. Louis Missouri Temple.

We had a great time waiting for Uncle Tony to come get us. We went to a Chuck E. Cheese and played and ate. It was the perfect stop!

Spence chowing down on Salad.

Katelyn with all of her tickets!

Tony picked us up to take us home to Charleston, Illinois. We were so excited to finally get to see where they live! We had so much fun with them! The week flew by WAY TOO FAST! The cousins got along great and the weather was delightful!

The St. Louis Arch

Lincoln/Douglas Debate Museum

We had lunch at a wonderful Mexican place, then hit some Putt Putt Golf!

The kids loved playing Wii together!

We got to take a tour of the University where Tony works.

They even have a bowling alley! The kids loved getting to play!

Do they look like cousins or what??!!

It's a GIANT ABE!!!! Lynne and Tony tried to explain about this place and the Statues. But I wasn't quite prepared for this one... It is HUGE!!

Erin had been dying to see Coraline, so Wonderful Aunt Lynne rented it for us--3-d glasses and all.

A few little ones got a bit scared. Erin, however, LOvED it!!!
