I have had a very fun filled summer. This is the first time that I have not worked summer school so I tried to take advantage and I think I did. The last time I left I blogged about going to see my cousins in St. Louis and then New Hampshire. We had such a great time. Here are some pictures from that trip.
While in St. Louis, we had some time in between Ethan's game to go and visit the arch. I have been to St. Louis with Jeana to go see the Cardinals play but never made it to the arch. It was so amazing. I am extremely happy that we had a chance to go up to the top. Christy is afraid of heights so waited at the bottom for me, Emily and Ethan.
This is a picture of us before we went up.
For anybody who has never been to the top, to get there you have to ride in a little 5 person bubble with no windows. It is extremely small and takes 4 minutes to get up. I am a little claustrophobic so had to take some deep breaths on the way up. It was definitely worth it. This is the door you went through to get in. Yes, it was really that small. You have to duck under to get in. I thought that I was a part of Alice in Wonderland.
This is us crammed in the bubble. You can't see, but there are two people across from Ethan and I touching our knees.
This is us at the top. You can see behind Emily that they are very tiny windows you look out. You had to lean on a ledge to see the window. It was pretty scary because you felt like the arch was going to fall over.
On our way to New Hampshire, Christy had the idea of stopping at Niagara Falls. It was only about 30 minutes off the highway. I figured that we had to do it because I don't know if I will ever be back there. I was so thankful that she had the idea because it was absolutely amazing. If you ever have a chance to go there, I highly suggest that you do. These pictures don't do justice.
We decided to take a boat that goes between the falls. As we were getting on, they give us ponchos to wear. This is what you look like when you don't wear your ponchos right. Ethan and Emily were soaked.
This is a picture of us right when we got on the boat. Notice how dry we are.
This is the point in the summer where my camera broke so I don't have anymore pictures of the trip. When we got back to the Shultz's house in New Hampshire, we took a day trip to Boston. We rode on one of those trollies that takes you all around the city. It was a great day.
The rest of the summer was kind of a blur. It felt like we were going and going. If you read my sisters blog, you pretty much know alot of what my summer looked like with family.
These last few pictures are of last weekend. I borrowed my moms camera to take them. Me and some friends from high school went to Casino Morongo for the weekend. We had a blast. This is a picture of us getting ready to got out for the night.
The best thing about Morongo is their pool. As you can see, they have a slide for all ages.
They also had a lazy river. This was my favorite part. We pretty much lounged around on these inner tubes all day going around the river.
Just another picture of us in the lazy river. Me, Annette, Laurie, Kaycee and Shannon.
What a great summer this was. Sorry that the post is so long. I was going to break it up into two but decided to get it all out at once.
