 Well, since we aren't allowed to leave Illinois with school COVID restrictions, we went as close as we could to the border which was not St. Louis. No, never. At the aquarium, they have this thing, that we have done before where you color a picture, scan it, and it comes to life on the big screen. Alice watches her's go bye..   A before pic   Matt's pants fish is simply a gem. Brock's... Brock putts while Alice naps... Off to the science center, and we begin with some mental stacking! making the fire "hotter" with more coal... Indeed, an arch. And since we couldn't go in the arch (booked until December), this was the next best thing? They have this cool pedestrian overpass above the highway. You can watch the cars dash by below. Alice was obsessed!   Next morning begins with a stroll on the still closed sculpture garden. Matt is singing the Bangles song "circle in the sand" right now in his head. At least that is what he is doing in my head righ
