We spent the weekend in St. Louis to visit my parents and to see the American Idol concert. It is about a 4 1/2 hour drive. We arrived late Friday night and then went to the Magic House the next morning with my parents. This is an incredible place, with room after room of different hands on experiences. The girls spent a little while in fairy tale land then proceeded to pretend to be President Obama (according to Katie) and President Monson (according to Ashley) in the Oval Office and Congress replicas. After that they had a mock trial in the Supreme Court room and then climbed the beanstalk. From there they proceeded to put on their detective gear and solve a mystery after which all of us took a turn electrocuting ourselves, or at least our hair. We ended the visit with a stop for a 19th century tea party and to construct a building. And I don't think we saw everything! It was a great visit with my parents and we are glad that we are so much closer than we have been for the past five years.
