Meet Me in St. Louis

Last weekend we were able to meet up with good friends Jeremy & Carrie & Mila (& Sam briefly) in St. Louis.
We had a wonderful time together exploring our hotel, checking out the zoo, City Museum, and Arch.

Heading out of town--stopped by grandma & grandpa's to drop off Ender for the weekend.

On the first night we all had dinner then the guys headed out to see Frightened Rabbit while Carrie, North, Mila, and I hung out at the hotel. Both kids had tons of energy and enjoyed being in a new place.
Carrie thought to bring new fun toys -- including a glow stick! The kids loved it!

The next morning we decided to check out the zoo

North made monkey sounds and movements to the gorillas.

Then we grabbed some lunch and headed to the City Museum
which is the weirdest, coolest place. We all had an amazing time.

I cannot describe how fun Mila and North thought sliding on this turtle in one of the tunnels was.
