A Hot Day at the Zoo...Day 3



Today we went to the St. Louis Zoo, which is a very nice zoo and it is FREE! The weather was very HOT (a wet hot) and it also rained on us for a little while, and then turned HOT and muggy again. We were there for about 3 hours and then the kids (okay so was I) were very tired and ready to leave.



How much fun did Koen have?

Let's meet Yogi...Day Two...Part 2



After riding the Yogi train, Yogi comes out to meet the kids, my child was not impressed...

Day at the pool...Day 2



After all the fun we had on day one, we decided to kick back and relax. It was really hot here today, 82 feels like 91, so we went to the pool. We had a great time! The kids, also rode the Yogi Bear train and finally met Yogi Bear. We ended our fun with a trip to the park, to burn off any outstanding energy. When we got back to our cottage and it started to rain, however, it came and went in a few minutes. We finally got to have smores and now the kids are showered and are sleeping. It is finally adult time, yeah! I think I will have some beverages and go to bed...Tomorrow we are planning on the zoo...

Are we there yet? Day 1


Today is the day we left for our family vacation. Our ideal leave time was 7:00 am, however, my sister called and said that Braydon had some eye infection and Bryan had ear infection, and they were going to go to the doctor's office at 10:00 am. Justin and I decided we would go ahead of them and do a little shopping at the outlet malls. We actually hit the road for St. Louis around 1:00 (remember we wanted to leave at 7:00). Koen finally fell asleep around 2:00, however, woke in a very bad mood, which lasted for a couple of hours. We arrived in Eureka, MO around 6:00 pm and my sister's family arrived shortly after. We were all very tired and stressed, however, we still needed to go eat and grocery shopping. We decided on Steak and Shake, bad choice (we seemed to making a lot of those today). The service was horrible and it took about an hour and half for our food. They, apparently, were short handed and finally decided to close the drive through. We ate for free. We then took our very tired families to Wal-Mart for some shopping fun (it was around 9:00). Hopefully tomorrow will be more fun...
