Illinois

Whoa... Illinois is fun.. I'm in a little tiny town called New Baden. It's so freakin' close to the border that we go in and out of Missouri all the time.... We went to the St. Louis arch yesterday and it was 630 ft. high; that's how high people were jumping from on the twin towers... It was HIIIIGH!! It was really fun though... Today we were going to this one place with a bunch of horses but it was closed by the time we got there.... But we went swimming instead. Tomorrow we're going to the St. Louis Zoo!! I can't wait!!!!! It's like 30 acres.. I love the zoo... Speaking of zoos...... We brought our dogs here with us ((that's 2)) and they already had three dogs here and there are 6 dogs here including my other aunts dog... 6 dogs!!! And three are puppies, all big ones that think they're lap dogs.. But they are all really cute ^___^ It's really nice out here... Nice small town with lots of country.. My aunt that we're staying with has a HUGE corn field next door. It's great.. I'm having lots of fun.... My favorite author, Laurell K. Hamilton lives in St. Louis and it's really cool to see some of the places she talks about in her books.. I hope she writes a new one before my birthday so I can get another of her books. Anyway, I'll update again soon and tell about the zoo I can't wait!! >.
