Because of our not so fun schedules we left Saturday night after Tania got off work at roughly 8pm. We had a 6 hour drive but because of the time change we gained a hour, I think we got there at 1am. We got a tour of the there place and chatted for a while and then went to bed. Kat has a very nice place, and we enjoyed seeing where they call home.
The next morning we headed to St. Louis which is about a hour away. I spotted the Arch first! But we went to the zoo there.
Kat and Judah had never been and we all enjoy going to zoo's. The weather was perfect!
One of the coolest exhibits were the penguins. The first thing you notice is the temperature change. At first it was refreshing, but the longer you stayed in there the colder it got.
There were penguins on both sides and you could literally reach out and touch them swimming in the water (we weren't allowed, but we could have). It was so neat being about a foot or two away from these creatures.

After the zoo we found a restaurant called Triump Grill. Little did we know it was named after the Triump motorcycles. All the decor was made up from motorcycle parts and it was very classy! They also had a big room that you could rent out for meetings etc, but it also doubled as a museum. There were some very cool old motorcycles in there! It was nice entertainment for after dinner.
After dinner we went up close to the Arch!

| Everyone |
Then to a neat park a few blocks away that had water foutains that lit up and sprayed water everywhere.
 |
| The fountains changed colors too! |
Judah was running every which way and had a blast.
 |
| Josiah had fun too! |
I stayed dry and had a photo shoot on the bunny sculptures.
It was a super long day, but we had a lot of fun being with everyone and seeing a new city!
Monday morning we went to breakfast and Kat drove us around their little town. Showed us where she works, and where Judah goes to school, their church and all the different sites. We were going to do some shopping but everything was closed :( Then we got to see Judah's favorite Buffalo's! Most of them were sleeping, or off some where else, but we got to see a few! We headed back to Ohio around 1pm and got back at 8pm or something like. The only thing that could have made trip better is if we had more time but we were all thankful for the time we did have!
