Summer Visit to St. Louis

We were so excited to visit Rich, Lindsay, Clark & Dexter in St. Louis in early June. We were fortunate that all the bad storms that surrounded the area for several days had gone away. We were blessed with sunny and sometimes very warm weather. Rich & Lindsay took a four day trip to California for a scheduled fund raiser event and a little R&R. It was a great opportunity to do some grandma and grandpa bonding with our two little bundles of joy. We had a great time! We went to the Magic House, the Zoo, The Science Center, a little shopping and lots of water events like visiting the fountains in the Tower Grove Park and also the backyard kiddy pool.

One of the best highlight of our trip was seeing Jeremy, Rebecca and Gabby (friends of Lindsay & Rich). Gabby is around the same age as our Bella and she is such a doll. We really enjoyed our time visiting with Rebecca and Jeremy. They made us feel so at-home with them.

And finally we were able to share Dexter's 2 year old Birthday Party at the Tower Grove Park. It was a great event and there were many little ones that got a chance to get wet in the fountains, play on the swings and slides and even had a chance to see a real live Clydesdale Horse up close. We enjoyed seeing all of Lindsay's family and friends again. So fun!! Here are some pictures of our trip.

Srawberry Picking

Traci & Joe invited us to pick strawberries with them at a farm close by to us. Bella had a blast! She was picking and squeezing all the strawberries. Every once in a while she'd eat one. They are so sweet and fresh. We had an awesome time. Thanks for inviting us.

Hmmm.... These are so tasty!

Want one???
