Fish and Family....



You know what they say? They both stink after 3 days...but it's only been 2. Patience is wearing thin, people are whininng and crying....and that's just me!!! Just kidding.

No, really, we have been blessed with a great day for day #2. Weather was nice, Michele hasn't made a single wrong turns (because Andy is navagating as I am doing my email and conf. calling in the back seat). We did rent some red box movies in St. Louis as the 5 movies each kid brought can only be watched som many times. I am sure we will return the movie somewhere in OK.

We did officially make this a true "great American road trip" when we made a purchase off of Craig's list in St. Louis. See the newest addition to the top of our van!


All of us went up into the Arch today. Pretty cool to be 630ft in the air. I didn't realize it was the tallest national monument.


The view from that high was AWESOME! The kids seemed to really enjoy it as well. We watched 2 movies, one on Lewis and Clark and one on how the Arch was built...pretty cool.

The size of the "car" that takes you up to the top was pretty small but we all fit into it.
I asked Jacob to smile so I could take his picture and this is what I got. Jared quickly replied "Is he a male model or something"....I am sure he'll regret this photo when he's a teen.



Above, Luke is hanging out at the top of the Arch....He thought it was pretty cool.
Michele will be sending in some random quotes from the past few days. They have been keeping the trip pretty light-hearted.
