The steps were no problem for them!
The view from the top of the steps. Notice the traffic stopped on I-70 on the bridge...glad we weren't stuck in that.
Under the Arch is a museum that is very interesting.
Lots of neat things to see.
Jeren wasn't too sure about this guy.
The girls begged to try on bonnets from the gift shop. :)
They've each got their buddy.
We weren't able to go up to the top because there was a very long line (2 hr wait) but the kids were happy not to go all the way up there. :)
Beside the Arch, they have a beautiful, grassy area with lots of trees. We played around there before we loaded up to leave.
After the Arch, we traveled to old town St. Louis to this Candy shop. Keith had seen it advertised somewhere and he has always wanted to go. It was WAY down there and I was very ready to leave (I'm a chicken, I know) - although the people inside the shop were very friendly!
We ordered a strawberry and chocolate shake (24 oz each) and all shared it. Each shake filled up THREE of those glasses that Kristyn is drinking from.
Can you imagine joining this club? One man did it in 5 min - CAN YOU IMAGINE the brain freeze he must have had??
We had a wonderfully fun day that day! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Neat spot to visit ~ I've been up a few times ~ yet can't help but wonder, "What would I do, if this Cog stops while I'm not at a convenient spot to get out?" ~ Thank God for the steps along the clog!
They seem like they enjoyed every minute of it ! ! ! !
Dittos on being DOWN TOWN at a candy shop . . . I'm a chicken too! =0)
