Vacation 2014 {St. Louis}

We wrapped up vacation week

We left for St. Louis on Monday and came back Thursday evening

We had a great time but I have to say, we won't be visiting St. Louis any time soon

St. Louis was too hectic for our liking

 

Monday we stopped at Mark Twain Caves in Hannibal Mo.

Tuesday we went to the St. Louis Zoo

The elephants were our favorite

 

We went up in the Arch

These boys should have earned a medal for being so patient

We bought tickets at 2:00 for a 5:35 tram ride

 but they don't tell you that you'll still have another hour of waiting

On Wednesday we went to the City Museum

It was amazing and I think the boys were the perfect age for all the climbing
Pictures don't do this place justice- It was AMAZING



We climbed 10 stories of spiral stairway to ride the spiral slide down

 

We also went to Ted Drewes

You haven't had ice cream until you have it from here

 

On Thursday we went to the St. Louis Science Museum

I wish we would have gone to Grants Farm instead

It was pretty disappointing

 Spencer sat down on this piece of glass in the skywalk,

 the speaker above him made a crackling noise and the look on his face was priceless
I wish I would have got it on video

 

On our way home we stopped at the biggest firework shop

The boys were sure it was the best $20 we spent on the entire vacation

 

 We pulled in the drive about 5:00 and couldn't have been happier
I wish I was a better traveler, I guess I'm a home body

Friday and Saturday I attempted to squeeze as many clients in as I could
My sweet hubby took the boys fishing both days

Parker caught this tiny turtle and gave it to Spencer's coach for his boys

On Sunday my nieces came home
Grandma Camp starts today!

It's going to be another GREAT week!
