Visit from Aunt Shannon

Shortly after our visitors from Des Moines left, Aunt Shannon came into town. We were so excited to have her visit us. In the middle of her visit, Danny had a three day buisness trip. Shannon and I took advantage of those days and took a mini trip up to Nauvoo. Shannon had never been to Nauvoo, so she was excited to finally see it. Here are Alyssa and Shannon in the Nauvoo Post Office.
Shannon and Ashley waiting for Alyssa to finish playing dress up with the pioneer clothes.
Shannon took the girls on an oxen ride. She said the girls loved it. Here they are in front of the oxen and covered wagon.
Here is Alyssa on the wagon.
And here is Shannon with Alyssa and Ashley on the wagon ride.
After Danny got back from his buisness trip, we took Shannon into Downtown St. Louis to see the Arch. She wanted to take a ride up in it, but Alyssa and Ashley weren't patient enough to wait the hour that it would have taken. Here is Shannon in front of the base of the Arch.
Here she is with Ashley on the steps leading up from the Mississippi River to the arch.
We had a lot of fun visiting with Shannon. We played lots of Dr. Mario and other games with her and it was fun seeing the girls warm up to her. We are glad that she was able to come visit us.
