Since we have consumed our lives with nothing but building a house, all but one of our vacations were either postponed or canceled altogether. When Tom and Beth got married my family drove to Indiana and made the most of a very long drive. The day before we were to leave I woke up with the stomach flu, makes packing and getting ready a little more difficult than usual. Even harder than that was when Matt came down with it the first day of the trip. Our goal was Oklahoma City and we made it (barely) checked into a hotel (that gave me the creeps) and waited out the storm (Matt's flu) (you know the saying - the bigger they are the harder they fall!) Luckily, by morning he was feeling much better. Our first stop was something I was dying to do, check out the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. I love history and this was something that really peeked my interest because I was old enough to remember that day. I am very glad we made the stop and Matt is too, the kids - not so much! Then it was back in the car for our next destination - St. Louis, MO. We made it just in time for the last tram to the top of the arch, Rachel likes to pretend that it was scary but really she loved it! They liked the ride up in the rickety old tram and being that far above everything else was pretty exciting (they much preferred this to the memorial). Then we had to show them the Mississippi River, they took off their shoes and walked around in the "Mississippi Mud" and got as dirty as they could - they are kids, what do (I) you expect?! Matt thought he should take off a little more than his shoes and did some illegal skinny dipping - just because he could! I don't know what to do with that boy most of the time! We finally got the kids a midnight snack at Matt's favorite fast food chain - White Castle. To this day, he is the only fan of that restaurant (if you can call it that ) in our family. He even tried to get my sister's on board - no takers! Next time he is just going to have to enjoy his White Castle by himself. Finally we made it to Corydon the morning where we spent a great weekend with the family and celebrated with Tom and his new bride. The ride home was far less eventful just because we had inspections on the house scheduled for Tuesday and the kids started school on Wednesday, no time for sight seeing!

Your kids are so darn cute! I love those dresses - I'm guessing you made them? Matt is hilarious - keeps life interesting! I remember the day of the bombing in OK. I was home from school for lunch and it was on the news.
