St. Louis Vacation

For our summer trip we went to St. Louis. We had a great time. We started with the Gateway Arch, Nora really enjoyed sitting on the windows over the edge of the Arch.

We stayed at Union Station Hotel, which was built out of a converted train station. It had some pretty cool features.

The next day we walked over to the City Museum. It was very cool, especially the way the girls got to set the pace of our exploration and decide how much to push their limits. Kristin and I did get some pretty good knee bruises.

For a final day we went to the Zoo. We didn't get too many pictures, I think the polar bear and penguins were everyone's favorite.

Abby's 8th Birthday

We've got a lot of blog catching up to do. I'll get started with Abby's birthday, there were birthday pancakes and Abby picked cupcakes as for her birthday cake.

She also had a big birthday party will all her friends from school. As I recall the theme was candy fairies. I do remember we went through a ton of pizza.
