2nd Annual Trip to St. Louis

Last weekend we went on our 2nd annual trip to St. Louis with our friends, the Blands! We met them in West Memphis and drove to Sikeston, Missouri to eat at Lamberts again, just like last year. This place is just fun! Here's Jennifer and Benson catching a "throwed roll."



The kids were so happy to see each other again!

Notice he has his boots on. He just lacked his cowboy hat!



Like last year, we stopped near St. Louis at Wal-Mart and Kohls to try to find attire for the Cardinals game. Didn't end up finding anything for my kids so they just used last year's outfits since they still fit. Hannah and Benson just wouldn't let go of each other throughout the store. They laughed and laughed.

We stayed with Kris' brother again. They have a wonderful house and have been so gracious to let us stay there. Saturday we got up and took the kids to the Magic House. It is a children's museum in St. Louis. It was very similar to the one we went to in Memphis not too long ago.

There were all kinds of things for the kids to see and do.

Sweet Sloane. This little girl is amazing! She was just a little angel during the whole trip.

One part of the museum was a mystery. It had all kinds of things about how to solve a mystery. This particular part was about shoe prints. They had all these different shoes and you had to match them up with the right shoe print.

Daddy was helping.

Then, they had a part where you could make your finger print.

Little modern artists!

Outside they had this little house equipped with a kitchen and a little garden in front.

Lincoln and Hannah watering the herb garden. It told all about how plants are planted and how they grow.

Hannah making some stew with all her veggies.

Love how Sloane was playing with her feet!



I saw this sign and had to get a picture. Pretty amazing thought!!!

The water area.


Shopping for groceries.


Checking out.

They had this car where kids could change the tire or fix the muffler. I love how the whole place is so hands on for the kids. They really get to experience things here.



Kris and Lincoln were on their very own tv show!

The Pizzeria

Lincoln was ringing us up.

Jennifer and I couldn't resist. We thought, "This could be them on their first date one day!"

Lincoln loved trying to catch some fish. What a fun place! You can do everything here!

That afternoon we went to a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium. I just love where it is located. It is a neat view of the Arch and the city.

Mr. Mess and me. I have to say, he was pretty good. It is so hard to keep him still for that long. He loved wearing his baseball cap and his daddy bought him a little blue baseball bat. So far he hasn't hit anyone with it.:)





Awesome picture with the Arch in the background!



Thanks again Les and Carol! We enjoyed spending time with you guys!

Sunday we went to church and then headed home! Great, great weekend with our friends! Love you guys! Looking forward to next year!
