Weekend fun in St. Louis

With our time in Missouri running out quickly, I surprised Anna with a weekend in St. Louis.  Of course, it is always more fun to share with a friend, so best buddies Debbie and Dustin joined us.  You started our adventure Saturday at the Magic House (i.e. St. Louis’s Children’s Museum).  It was great, the kids were able to climb a giant bean stalk (ala Jack and the Bean Stalk); take over the Oval Office and a Courtroom; and then spend a little into in the Children’s Village fishing, running a pizza place, shopping for fresh veggies, serving up ice cream cones, or fueling up a real Smart Car.

That night we relaxed at a local Drury Plaza and did a little swimming.  Anna is working on becoming a little fish.  When she really tries, she can actually swim a few feet on her own.  If we really work on it, she’ll be swimming by the end of the summer

After a good night’s sleep, we headed off to the St. Louis Zoo, which is huge!  We spent a good 6 hours at the zoo and still didn’t see everything.  I asked Anna her favorite part, but the only answer was ‘going to the zoo and seeing all the animals.’  We tried to see as many animals as possible along with taking in the carousel ride and train ride.  Here are some photos of our adventure-
