We went to St. Louis for the weekend to go to Six Flags on Saturday and the Arch on Sunday. We had a big group of people: Robin, Ian, Brandy, Sheri, Joshua, Manda, Dan, and me. Manda was in charge of taking pictures with her digital camera, but didn't realize until we got into Six Flags that the batteries weren't charged on the camera...Oops!!
So, no pictures of Six Flags...but no one wants to remember the Ferris Wheel!
On Sunday, we went to the Arch. It was too sunny to take a picture of the Arch outside, so here is the model...
To get to the top of the Arch and the viewing deck, you must climb into this LITTLE egg shaped pod with 4 other adults. Imagine 5 adults crammed into a LITTLE egg shaped pod...someone's going to hurt their head (like Joshua so graciously demonstrated for us). Oh, and did I mention that the LITTLE egg shaped pods shake while moving through the Arch...they do!

Back on solid ground...YAY!!!Technically the trip from St. Louis to Memphis takes 4.5 hours...we left St. Louis at 2:30pm and got to Memphis at 9:45pm...still have no clue how that happened. We decided that since we were already exhausted, we might as well try to play a game that requires a lot of attention, because that makes sense, right?
We ordered pizza, had some beer, and played Cranium Board Game...oddly enough I can't remember who won.
Boys' TeamFor one of the cards, Daniel was suppose to use someone from the opposite team to act out a person. Daniel was so excited when he got the card and it said "referee"...he didn't realize how difficult that task was going to be for Joshua to guess...
Manda got the same card saying that she had to use a person from the opposite team to act something out for me to guess. Her card said "surfer".
All in all, it was a great weekend!
