I found a great book about the The Gateway Arch.  It had all the information about it, but it wasn’t too overwhelming.

After reading it we took some time to talk about what kind of monument we might design.  Can you guess what the boys wanted to design?

Yes, we got one that looks like the Washington Monument, one birthday cake, and then two battle scenes.  Actually, I think Batman’s is a whole epic war complete with hide-outs.

I kid you not.  Either way, the kids all enjoyed it, so I’m not going to complain too much.
