I'm Afraid of Heights

At the bottom, touching the Arch.

Yesterday we went with mom & dad and drove over to St. Louis. We met up with Dodo, Paul, Dale & Nancy. E was soo excited to see Dodo! Took him a while, but he did warm up to Nancy too, and well we all know he likes girls better than boys, so I'm sure he was glad to see Paul & Dale too, even if he wasn't overly excited =P

Anywho, we headed downtown to go up in the Gateway Arch. All the way there, and most of this week, after I showed him the picture of it, E kept telling me he was afraid of heights, and he wasn't sure about it because it was very high. So we got there and he was standing at the bottom looking up telling me it's high and he was a little bit scared.

Granny & Papa sugared him up before we went up.

He did good in the tiny little elevator, he wasn't scared at all. That thing zooms you right up there too! I was a little freaked out by it, but E was fine. I don't think Bill was liking it too much either, he was pretty quiet the whole ride.

When we got to the top, Ethan jumped right up on the windows and looked out - he wasn't afraid at all and now he is not scared of heights. Oh, sorry he just told me he was "never" scared of heights - sassy boy.Looking out one of the windows

He had the camera and we have liek 50 pictures of the same view, but he had fun. As soon as we came back down he told us that he "missed the arch".Downtown St. Louis
