More on our trip!

After Nauvoo Ty headed back to Rexburg and we headed on back home. We stopped for the day in St. Louis to see the Gateway arch it was super awesome!
We rode up to the top of the arch 630 feet it was crazy we got into what was like a dryer drum and it only fit 5 people. It was all white and we sat there for like 10 min and the whole time it would tilt a little as we were getting higher and higher! when we were at the top they just had a bunch of these little windows to look out and there was never a flat plane it was a complete arch and there was not a lot of room up there. it was a pretty amazing building!
We also got to go to the St. Louis Zoo. it was really fun we got to see a lot of fun animals. Here it Calvi by the elephants.
He really loved all the animals but his favorite by far was the hippos! there were 5 of them and they kept swimming right in front of him and he just laughed and smiled it was so cute!
Here is Clara and calvi at winter quarters riding a wagon, they had fun playing in the pioneer stuff.
Here is liberty Jail, this was a really neat experience it was so small it fit inside of the building. Since it was November there was no one there and so it was nice to really take our time here, we heard lots of amazing stories that really made me appreciate the prophet and those who helped bring the gospel to us.
This is at Far West temple site there really was not much there but it was fun to just go be there.
This was one of my favorite places Adam-ondi-Ahman, it was so pretty there. We got there right as the sun was going down and it was so pretty to see all the fall colors and the land was so beautiful.
There really was not a lot to see here either but it was really nice piece of land.
Here is my mom just playin with her grand kids. It was nice to have my parents and grandparents on the trip cause they were a big help just entertaining the kids.
We stopped at the Pony Express museum it was really fun to see how it all started. We did see a lot of old stuff every where we went on the trip but it was neat to see what people had and used back in the day.
Here is Calvi who knows who his parents are i mean really he has this thing with putting his feet up on the table. We would go somewhere to eat and here he is just kickin back with his feet on the table. He also likes to take his socks off and i would have to keep putting them back on. He is a crazy boy but i love him!!
