For fall break we went to St. Louis and took the children to see loads of things. On Thursday, we went to the zoo, where we all viewed the wonderful collection of animals there. Then on Friday we saw and went up into the Arch. The children all loved going up, although Ethan did express his fear of elevators just a bit. They enjoyed the museum there as well. After that we went to the science museum and had a 
great time viewing all the exhibits. The children by the end of the day were exhausted! The next day on Saturday we went to C
ahokia and Bob and I introduced the children to Native American history. We walked on the great mound and hiked all around the grounds. We also went inside the interpretive center to view the exhibits on early Native American life. I am always very moved whenever we go there. While we were there at Cahokia, a large group was touring the center at the same time. It turned out they were a group from Utah seeing church sites and had just been to Nauvoo. So we talked with them a little about history and the Book of Mormon. It is so funny to meet up with other members of the church in unexpected places. After Cahokia we drov
e home. It is always fun to go other places and do other things every so often. Bob and I love introducing the boys to new and interesting things as they grow up. Here are some pictures of our travels and one of Christopher cutting up a pumpkin for Halloween. The children collected quite a bit of candy on Halloween and had a great time.
