Family Reunion in St. Louis

Another fun trip we took this summer was our Family Reunion to St. Louis. Our brother-in-law Broc is going to medical school there. It was so much fun.

I had to spill the beans on my being pregnant because I was sooooooo sick. The long trip in the car with morning sickness was not my favorite thing I'm not going to lie. The kids did pretty good though. We were armed with a DVD player and lots of movies and that saved us for sure.

I think that St. Louis is such a pretty place. I loved all of the old homes with wrap around porches and the GREEN. It was very green . . . lots of trees and vegetation. Of course with that there comes a price. It was as humid as I'll get out. Our clothes were all wet most of the time. Lamon whined the most I think about the humidity! He didn't like it one bit. I guess we won't be moving there anytime soon. But it really is a cool city. It has so many FREE things to do. Some of the things we did were:
1.Go to a super fun splash park in the middle of the city
2.We went to the zoo (which was totally free)
3.We went to the Science Center (also free and totally awesome)
4. We went exploring in the Meramac caves. And seriously . . . when are caves not fun? It was great.
5. We went to this really interesting Sculpture Park. And you heard that right. It was this huge beautiful Park that had all sorts of modern art like sculptures throughout it. There were little nature walks that led to different sculptures, and it was pretty cool. I can honestly say that I have never been to a park quite like that one!
6. We went to the top of the St. Louis Arch. Of course we had to do that!
