St. Louis


Wesley had to go to Missouri for work so I went with the boys to visit my sister, Lea for the week.  There was father/sons campout on Friday so I went to St. Louis with just Cooper Friday night and Wesley came with Jake on Saturday.  Here's Lea, Abby and Taylor with Cooper
We went to see UP  in 3D, it was cute and fun to watch in 3D
The kids all slept in Mason's room in sleeping bags on the floor.  Jake thought it was the coolest thing!
Hanging out
We went to the pool one day
The theater had 'Horton Hears a Who' for free one morning
We all did some gymnastics one morning - well, handstands and somersaults  but the kids loved it.  
   

The kids watching intently
     

The kids taking turns
       

       

We went on a couple of walks
Pulled out the slip 'n slide
While mowing the lawn, Sam found a turtle - boy was it feisty!  It kept trying to throw it's head back to snap at Sam
We went to the Magic House
Construction Zone at the Magic House
Jake in the tractor
Playing with the water area
        

Holding hands at the zoo
       

Dress up - Spiderman!

What a fun trip! I actually remember the magic house from about 25 years ago or so...looks like they've improved it:) You ladies are simply adorable. I hope you got more rest than I do on vacation with kids!
