St. Louis



Mac had Friday off so we headed over to St. Louis to see the Wirig family.
   


Annie and G couldn't wait to get Mac off the bus so we could leave. Annie had her "Ellie" dress on all day but the excitement ended about 20 minutes into the drive. Annie does not travel well:) surprised?


Friday we went to the arch saw the museum and let the kids run 
around.








Then went to the cathedral basilica of St. Louis. It was massive and the whole ceiling was not painted but covered in mosaic tiles! It was beautiful! After, we headed to the park to have some of st, Louis' famous ribs from poppy's. yum! Poor little Mac started complaining that his stomach hurt and then threw up A lot! Thinking that he threw up because the night before he had 3 double cheeseburgers at McDonald's we put him in the stroller and pushed him around the Zoo. He was a trooper and threw up just once more. Luckily the next day he was feeling better and acting like himself.











sweet Brigham and Beej





It was a long day but we had to take advantage of the 70 degree weather!


Friday night we had some custard- yum!





Saturday was rainy and cold so we went to the botanical gardens. It was huge and beautiful, i can only imagine how amazing it will be in a month.


After, we went to lunch at Fritz's where they make their own root beer and flavored sodas. We had a delicious lunch and drank way too many sodas!





After that we took it easy and let the kids nap and play. They played so good with each other! It's times like these that make me want to live close to family.


3 days just wasn't enough for Briggles to get use to us:)





Beej and Drew invented a knew game! Watch out it's going to be big!


The kids attempted rock band


Sunday we woke up to the sneaky leprechaun and the stomach bug. We were planning on going to church but as the morning went on, Drew and I felt more sick so we decided to cut the trip short. I slept most of the way while poor drew got us home in record time. We haven't moved much since but a good night sleep has us feeling better. Minus the sickness it was a perfect weekend! Thank you beej and Katie for being such great host and showing us your beautiful city!
