My New Friend


Bailey Ruth Brenneman and I have been spending some quality time together. She loves to take a nap on her Aunt Bubba. 




Riding Lesson

Here's Heather's 2nd riding lesson on Roxy the bike. 

Today, we worked on turning. Too bad there is no sound, because when she pulls up the 2nd time, she says, "This is scary!!" I don't think she'll be buying a bike anytime soon.

One more St. Louis PIc


I forgot one pic I wanted to post. This is the view looking straight down from the top of the Arch.


St. Louis

Here are some pics from my trip to St. Louis. Never been there before. My hotel was way on the outskirts of town and I only got downtown once, but that's ok. I was actually kind of scared to be downtown. I just kept getting warned about bad parts of town, so I didn't want to end up someplace dangerous. 
I went to the Gateway Arch. It's $10 to ride in little cars to the top. The cars are weird little pods that barely fit 5 people. I felt like I was riding in Dr. Evil's egg in Austin Powers. 
At the top you can see a lot, but it was cloudy when I was there. They say you can really feel the wind, but I didn't really mind it. I remember feeling it more at the Washington Monument, but the Arch is higher.

                                  Busch Stadium where the Cardinals play.
                                         View of the Arch from the metro station.
                                                            At the top.
