We drove through rain and thunderstorms but made it safety to our hotel in St. Louis Friday night. Having fallen asleep during the drive, Gracie was excited to wake up in a new city. Our "Little Eloise" loves staying in hotels.
Saturday was a full day. Saturday morning we explained the reason for our trip to St. Louis to Gracie. We told her about the surgery she was going to have, her stay at the hospital and that one day she may walk without her walker. Her reaction was, surprisingly, one of excitement. She wanted to go have the surgery right then and there!
With that daunting task behind us and all in great spirits, we were off to see the arch. Gracie enjoyed the long trip up to the top and looking out over the city. Later, we joined some friends, Chip, Tracy and McKenzie Collins, at their family's farm for some fun and dinner. Gracie and McKenzie rode in a horse drawn cart and took turns riding a pony. What a treat!
More to come. Thanks for checking in on us.

So glad you made it safely and the talk with Gracie went well...She is amazing! Already some answered prayers. Can you believe our whole family (before John and Levi) fit in that little cart that takes you up the arch... I was actualluy 8 mos pregnant with John. It was a very, very tight fit...but fun! Tell Gracie that Evan is our little "Eloise" she too LOVES hotels.
Dear Gracie,
Did you go to the zoo? I bet it was fun! I have never been to St. Louis. can you tell me about the arch when you get home?
Love, Ruby
