and here are some pictures of the arch in case you haven't seen it in a while... pretty cool, huh?
after a ride with me, mom, dad, and 3 adult strangers in one of the smallest transportation devices i've ever seen in my life (even smaller than a smart car, it seemed), the view at the top was really neat!
but then i found out we had to ride in that tram thing again to get down, and i was not so sure about that (and i did even cry for a little bit, but not too long - i'm telling you it was really small!)...
this was a pretty walk we took around the arch area...
and here i am back at our downtown hotel...
it was here (although not specifically on the windowsill, as you might have guessed) that the infamous collar bone breakage occurred. sadly, i've been trying to come up with a great story for how it happened, but to no avail (at least not a believable story). i wish it was something like i jumped in front of a car to save an old lady, or i was climbing a tree to rescue a cat, or even i was just playing football with the guys. but no, i just fell out of the hotel bed in the middle of the night - lame. it's a long story, because i was supposed to be sleeping in my own travel bed anyway, and mommy doesn't really like me to talk about it, since she holds herself responsible... but in any case, i fell out of the bed, cried a lot in the night, and then we went on with the rest of our weekend. i whined about it some but i was pretty tough and mom and dad didn't really think there was anything wrong since i had no bruising or swelling. finally, two days after we got home (nearly a week later!) when i was still complaining about my "neck, neck" mom took me in for x-rays, and sure enough, it was broken! it's not too bad though and will just heal on it's own, so no big deal. in fact, by the time i'm writing this, i almost don't even notice it anymore and am back to swinging, somersaulting, and rescuing old ladies and cats.
but back to our road trip... this is where it gets bad because i have NO good pictures to show for any of our remaining fun - super lame!! we made it to indiana early the next day (now friday) and got to see beamee, grampee, and SELT, play at the hotel, and go get ice cream at the culver's next door! i saw lots of mommy's friends too, because they were all there for the wedding of the century - megan and scott eells!! mommy and daddy were both in the wedding and were very busy from this point on, so that's why there are no pictures. but i had LOADS of fun with my relatives and even made a tiny appearance at the reception... this is the embarrassingly useless photo of me there, but you can kind of see my cute tie, and it's the only option, so what can ya do?
finally on sunday morning, it was time to head back to texas. we had a nice, leisurely drive up (remember the park in oklahoma?) but had to book it home pretty fast, but i was still really good in the car most of the time. this is what happens when you're driving so much and trying to make good time and then realize you're nearly out of gas in the middle of nowhere...
