St. Louis

We decided to take a mini vacation to St. Louis at the end of Liam's spring break from school. We had a blast! On Friday we checked out the Magic House and then the pool at our hotel. 

Saturday we went to the zoo first thing in the morning and ended up spending the entire day there. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time even without a stroller. Caroline was carried some but Liam walked the whole day and never once did he complain! 

On Sunday we hung around the hotel so Lucy could have a decent nap and then checked out the Science Center. It was definitely interesting but a little "old" for my kids. Both Liam and Caroline kept running from display to display wanting instant gratification. When Evan and I tried to slow them down to talk about what the display was about and how to make it work they were off to the next thing. Caroline was most interested in the robotic dinosaurs on the lower level. She was truly fascinated by their movements and would stand in front them just watching them for 10 minutes at a time. When we tried to move her onto something else she would run off and find them again. The highlight at the Science Center was the face painting that Evan got suckered into. (Ha!) I had to feed Lucy and left him with the kids to eat lunch. When Lucy and I came out of the nursing nook we discovered a tiger and Minnie Mouse! 

So happy that we were able to get away even just for a few days. We love St. Louis!!!!
