St. Louis Trip July 2013

So I've been really bad at updating this blog. But the Kids and I took a week long trip to my parents in St Louis, and there are tons of fun pictures to share!

The first thing we did was go to a Cardinals baseball game

Xavier's first ever Slurpee

Xavier's private meeting with Fred Bird

The whole Fam with Fred Bird, Lucy was actually petrified of Fred Bird

Xavier had so much fun he was asleep before we left the parking lot


 On Friday night we went to a carnival at my parents church



Xavier tried bowling

He needed to get a little closer
 Saturday morning the kids had stuffed animal wars when they woke up


We went to Grant's (Anhiser Busch) Farm

Xavier was fascinated by the Giant Boulder (tortoise) eating lettuce

Xavier was "calling" the chickens, trying to get them to come to him


Pretty Birds
