We returned from vacation yesterday! A good time was had by all (the 3 of us, my parents, and Travis and Erin) on our trip to Alton and Grafton, Illinois. We had planned to visit St. Louis on this trip, but due to the government warnings about terrorist activities near the Gateway Arch, we decided not to head into the city. We had fun anyway, despite the ridiculous, unbearable heat. (We heard somewhere that the St. Louis area was the hottest spot in the country over the holiday weekend!)
Annah had fun talking on the walkie-talkies, and spending lots of time with "Kappa-Gamma" (Grandma and Grandpa) and Uncle Travis and Aunt Erin. She kept Grandma up until 3:30 one night; apparently she was a combination of too tired and too excited to sleep. Grandma and Grandpa were very patient with her and didn't even call Mommy and Daddy in their room to ask them to come put the child to sleep!
Annah got to see fireworks for the first time, and she thought they were the coolest! We sat just above the marina by the Clark Bridge in Alton and watched the fireworks over the water. Annah thought they were very pretty when they went, "boom, boom," and that some of them looked like her favorite cereal--Kix. She asked for "more fire-ks" all the way back to the hotel. The rest of us had such fun watching Annah watching the fireworks that we didn't see much of them ourselves! ;)
It was a nice vacation; we all decided it was too short, and that next time we're going somewhere cooler!
