St. Louis Family Getaway

We had a super, super fun family weekend in St. Louis this past weekend!  It was a late celebration of GG's birthday and also happened to be Mother's Day weekend, so the perfect chance for us all to be together.  We had a blast with our cousins and all our family!
 The St. Louis Zoo... fuzzy camels!

 Checking out the lions with Poppy
 Looking at the sealions with GG
 The 3 Amigos... just wait til Baby Grayson can get in on the action!

 The BEST stop (according to Mommy)... the Magic House!  It was an awesome children's museum that had tons of fun stuff!
 Climbing "Jack the Beanstalk" that went up 3 floors and you could climb all the way up!
 Maxy loves construction equipment, so he was really excited to sit in this!

 Answering the phone in the Oval Office!
 Pulling a big bubble over myself!


 Squirters with GG!








 Sweet Baby Grayson
Funny story... we went to get lunch and Max was cold because his pants got all wet outside of the museum.  He wanted to go inside, but Mommy was eating outside.  Mommy gave Max a choice of going inside with Poppy or staying outside with Mommy.  He wanted Mommy to go inside with him.  So Mommy walked him inside and left him there with Poppy while she went right back outside.  This is Max crying on the other side of the glass because he is not on the same side of the glass as Mommy.  He always wants to be as close to Mommy as possible!



THE highlight of the WHOLE trip... swimming with Daddy in the hotel swimming pool!  I was up at 6:26am the last day ready to swim when the pool opened at 6:30!!



 Me, Connor and Max...
 Mommy and her sweetest boys...
 The whole gang at Grant's Farm
 It was a big and busy weekend.  Maxy got really tired on the tram ride at Grant's Farm and fell asleep in Mommy's arms.  (Notice the bracelet Max and I picked out for Mommy for Mother's Day.) ;)

Thanks for an awesome, awesome weekend, GG and Poppy!  We just love you so very much!

Grandma and Grandpa's Visit!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us and stay with Max and me while Mommy went to Chicago for work.  We had a great time with them, they played and played and played with us.  I sure bet they are tired after all the fun we had!

 Making birthday brownies for Grandpa with Grandma!
 Yum!
Happy Birthday, Grandpa!  Thanks so much for coming to visit us!!

Kite Festival at the Arboretum

Last Sunday was a gorgeous day, so we headed to the Arboretum to take in the kite fest.  Here I am making a silly face for Mommy!


 Max was playing the "hug game" with Mommy... running to her for a big hug!
