From Indiana we drove southwest, a drive we've done so many times now that the kids know just where you can first spy the St. Louis Arch, Gateway to the West. All want the honor of seeing it first.
It was fun for me to see how my older kids are now like the fun uncles. My boys are closer in age to a couple of the aunts and uncles than to their baby sister and cousins, so now they get to be the entertainment. They've been taught well.
I'm blessed in my in-laws. We have a wonderful time when we visit them. Even though summer in Oklahoma can be a brutal time of year weatherwise, we were there for a beautiful week, and the new pool made what heat there was an incentive for water play.
