St. Louis and 3 Birthday's!

On the long ride from Indianapolis to somewhere in Kansas, we stopped to see the "Gateway to the West" in St. Louis.  Inside the arch there was a great museum and the kids earned their first Jr. Ranger badge! 

The arch was bigger than any of us imagined and we went up in a compartment that looked like the inside of a dryer!

 That night we slept in Kansas City at a Walmart!  We were surprised to find out that Walmart welcomes RV's in their parking lots for overnight stays!  It was very convenient and free :)

When we woke up at Walmart, we had three very special birthday's to celebrate! 

Our goal was to make it to Denver by dinner time to go to "Casa Bonita"! I went to this crazy restuarant with my high school youth group and I never forgot it!  They have cliff divers, a crazy play with a gorilla, an arcade, and a funhouse! 

The famous Casa Bonita gorilla! Vivi would not get near him for this picture.

Putting together birthday gifts on the road!

Good old Mexican fried ice cream for dessert!
