We've Been Busy

St. Louis really does have a lot to do. We tried to take advantage of that before The Man had to start into work.

We hit the arch, of course. I thought it was more amazing from the outside than from the top.


We went to the children's museum here called The Magic House. It doesn't hold a candle to Strong, but I'm grateful for it all the same. The Boy did a little fishing in the river there.

We checked out the "free" zoo. By "free" they mean admission is free and everything else (including parking) will cost you an arm and a leg. It was incredibly hot the day we went, but we enjoyed it enough. I have no idea where my pictures of that trip went.

The Botanical Garden here is amazing and we got in on a totally free day (unlike the zoo). They even have little places here for the kids to get wet. I was sorry we didn't get pictures of that, but we will definitely go back. There was so much to see we weren't able to get it all in.


Fourth of July was celebrated solely by The Man and the Boy. They went to a little festival where he got to play in bubbles and make colored sand bracelets. Then he posed for a few phots at the neighborhood park before the fireworks started. This same park has a children's aquatic center only for residents of the three adjacent suburbs. How great is that? We are sure to make it there this week.


Liking the area quite a bit so far.
