We rolled into town about 3:30 and after some great pizza (just a side note, Luke doesn't like pizza...not any kind...won't take one bite. Isn't that weird.) Chase took us over to the beautiful Forest Park..which is a GIANT park in the middle of the city that was the site of the World's Fair in 1904. It is amazing with museums, flower gardens and a zoo which is all 'Free'! It was a perfect for our first stop because after being in a car for 6 hours the kids definitely needed to burn off some energy!
We then got drinks at the Boat House, a restaurant on the lake in the park where the kids were able to feed bread crumbs to the ducks. There were a ton of them and they were very aggressive. We would put pieces of bread on the kids' shoes and they would quickly snatch it. A huge hit!
All that was fun for the kids, but nothing was as great the hotel! They bounced all over that room, I was surprised management didn't ask us to leave!
The next day we went to the zoo. The kids had loads of fun riding the carousel and the little train.
I love this pic...something about seeing those two grown men packed in that little train car makes me laugh everytime! Thanks for being such a sport, Chase!
A trip to St. Louis wouldn't be complete without visiting the Arch and the Mighty Mississippi River! It was a beautiful day for it but very windy!!
Then the part Mommy and Daddy looked forward to the most...a Cardinals game. The Archers treated us to a great game which happened to be opening weekend so the kids got free shirts...Ella immediately put hers on. The game was great...so beautiful. The stadium is only a couple of years old and it is awesome. The kids made it all the way through 7 innings!
Thanks for the weekend, Amy and Chase! It was great! Hope to see you again soon!
