I am so exhausted! Looks at what we passed on our way up: piglet snouts!
Scott and the boys and I took off to St. Louis Friday to go watch the St. Louis Cardinals play the Minnesota Twins and just happen to hear Cooper sing The National Anthem with the Junior Jay Singers! They did an awesome job considering they haven't practiced together in over a month! You'd never know it they did awesome! I planned on putting the video on the blog today but no time to upload video yet but I will soon! It was a lot of fun but oh my goodness it was sweltering hot!!! It was about 95 during the game and the heat index was well over 100! Unfortunately our Cards lost Friday but they won yesterday and they play later today. It was nice just going with the boys for a couple of days, they don't get that very often! It was their first Major League game so they were really excited about it. Avery loves Yadier Molina so we got lost of pix and videos of him and Cooper's (and my) favorite is Albert Pujols so we got tons of him as well. Did you know he has an adopted daughter with DS??? Isabella Pujols, she is the daughter of his wife and he adopted her! He does a Buddy Walk every year too. We may go to one up there when Addy is a little older, I told the boys maybe in 2010.
Yesterday morning we attempted to sleep in but none of us slept very well! We ate breakfast then headed to the pool for a couple of hours, it was heaven! No trip is complete unless you jump on the hotel's beds!
After lunch we went to the St. Louis Science Center. It was so much fun! We went into the Dinosaur Named Sue exhibit and enjoyed it quite a bit. The boys got to search for bones, got to experience how little movement a T-Rex had of its arms, and got to see how dinosaurs "see"! It was a good time. We didn't even make it all around the center before we needed to head home but it was well worth our time! Did I mention that it's FREE? Some exhibits aren't (like SUE), so for the whole 28 dollars we spent it was totally worth it!
Aren't these rocks cool? I loved this exhibit!
This is how hot it was when we left St. Louis!
I think Avery got a little worn out!
I missed my girls and was glad that Addy isn't too mad at us for leaving her! My awesome friend Loriell came and stayed at home with her. Addy adores her and they had a blast!

Oh my sweet little Addy. Looks like a great weekend. I'm not even going to show my Carter the baseball pics. He'll be so jealous.
Looks like you had a fun weekend! That Science center looks so great! I can't believe how hot it was when you left - I hope you have air conditioning in your car!!
Of course I'll make my sweet Addy a blankie. Do me a fave and fill out the form on the blankie blog so I have it on paper and don't forget. Thanks.
When I saw the picture of the Arch, I knew I was going to love your post...then I read that you were Cardinal fans!! Wooo hooooo! I grew up just across the river from St. Louis. I live near Chicago now, but still call StL home! Glad you had a fun time!
I used to live in KC-- and my husband, then boyfriend, and I drove down to StL over the 4th one summer to catch a Cardinals game -- I swear it was the hottest I have ever been!
We are also Albert Pujols fans (even before Anna was born -- he is a great Christian role model). In fact, we have a cardinal that visits our bird feeder, and my son has named him Albert :)
