I just liked this picture...that's all.

The things kids pick up

Trip Pictures

Thanks to our good friends Dan and Holly who have things we didn't even know existed, we got an adaptable camera cord.

Here are some highlights of our trip across the country last month.

We spent the first night in Denver with my cousin Staci and her family. They were great hosts and it was so good to spend a little time with them (thanks Staci and Chris!). Not sure why I didn't get pictures of them - maybe on the way back.

We had to make sure each hotel we stayed at had a swimming pool. Alexa LOVED swimming with Brad each night. The Ramada Inn in Salina, Kansas has the best indoor swimming pool. It has a twisty slide. So, if you ever find yourself in the middle of Kansas needing a fun place to stay you should go there.

We got to stop at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis

It's so tall!

Here we are at the base of the arch. Our first family photo. Too bad our baby is covered up.

We went into the museum they have underneath it.

These are peace tokens that each president of the US had to give to the Indians.

Lexi really liked this horse. She wanted to pet it and just after I got done telling her we couldn't touch it (that's what the sign said) a family came up and started petting it. I then had a two-year-old that wasn't happy with me.

Here's the Mississippi River. I can't believe how big the rivers are in the Midwest! They just don't get that big where I come from.

Few and Far Between

When all your blogging comes from the pictures you take and then you forget your camera cord to put the pictures on the computer, blogging becomes scarce. That's why we haven't posted anything for a while.
We made the drive cross country and got to Alabama on Valentine's Day. I was surprised to see how many people actually live in AL since I had never met one before. We're enjoying our time here so far. It's fun to be in a big city again.
