A Sour Wordless Wednesday!

Scales Lake with Friends

Last Friday, July 10, we went to Scales Lake with Nic and her girls and Stacey and her girls. My boys and I have never been to Scales to swim. We live right down the road but memories from swimming in Lincoln Lake as a kid have never left me, so we've never gone!!! There are many reasons I don't like swimming in lakes but I put that aside because my friends said it was a clean lake.
They were right, you could see the bottom!!! The kids had SO much fun swimming and playing in the sand!

Kaylen and Jordan

The kids were making sandcastles and moats and at one time, we had four or five other kids playing with ours.

Autumn

We took a couple of snack breaks and of course, Jacob wanted ice cream!

It was really nice because there was a slide Jacob's size in the shallow end. He loved it and went down it about a hundred times! Jordan rode the bigger water slide.

Camryn, Jordan and Kaylen ~ buddies!!!

St. Louis Zoo ~ Day 3

On our last day in St. Louis, we visited the zoo. The boys enjoyed the Sting Ray Cove where you got to touch sting rays.

Jacob loved the monkeys!


One of Jacob's "meltdowns" during our trip. It was so hot the weekend we went but the kids were troopers. We originally were going to the zoo on Saturday but it was fore casted to be 96 degrees. We switched days with the Magic House and went on Sunday to the zoo, it was 85 degrees that day. It was a beautiful day!

My fav. animals!

Jake and his buddy, papaw!



Home where they belong!!! I feel like all I take are pics of Jacob but Jordan's getting too big for pics, I have to bribe him to take them!

The penguin exhibit was awesome too. After the zoo we headed to Fitz's for a late lunch. If you are going to be in the St. Louis area, especially around the zoo, you have to try Fitz's. Some friends of ours the Meier's recommended it and it was awesome! We had a wonderful time on our vacation, just wish it would have lasted longer. Next year, it's Disney World....yay!!!!

Signs of Spring

All my boys want to do when they're outside is play baseball. This will be our life until winter!
