Trip to St. Louis


We just got back from a trip to St. Louis to visit with family. We had a great time and I must say that St. Louis has so much to do with kids. The first day we headed to Grant Farm.

The kids loved getting to feed the baby goats a bottle. Grace is such a little mommy that she cried and cried when both of her bottles were out of milk.
Here Will is doing a great job feeding the baby. His cousin Andrew is looking on inspecting his work.

After a bird show and goat feeding we headed to get some lunch. Here we are all huddled under a shelter while a terrible thunderstorm passes by. Will was very brave and Grace slept through the whole thing.

The next day we all headed out to the zoo. It is an amazing zoo and the best thing about it is it is free. Here the kids are all petting and feeding the sting rays. We all ended up wet, but they had a great time.


It was a pretty warm day so we all got something cool and refreshing to eat. I don't know what these four are up to, but it looks like a good time. Grace is asleep in the stroller. We stayed so busy she had to catch a nap wherever she could.


We also spent on day at this great children's museum called the "magic house". It was all a little overwhelming for Grace, but Will loved it. Here Grandma and Will are showing the affects of static electricity on your hair. Will's is standing up, but it is a little hard to tell since it is so short, but Grandma is putting on quite the show.

The local pool/water park was our next stop.

To close out a fabulous week we took the four cousins to tropical mouse for snow cones. Grace and Olivia absolutely loved each other. Don't they look super cute.
Here is all four cousins having a great time eating their snow cones. I couldn't get them all to smile so I decided funny faces might be a better option.
We had a great week and thank you so much Kristine and Sal for welcoming us into your home. Hopefully we can come again real soon!!!!
