First Day of Kindergarten

Buddy is so excited to be in Kindergarten this year!

Abbie photo bombed this one...

Picnic Lunch

This is how we do lunch!  The twins tend to make a big mess on the floor, so we just eat on the deck.  And, cleanup = dog!

On a side note, usually July and August are soooo hot/humid that we would not be able to do this.  We have been lucky around here with temps only in the 80's the past few weeks.

St. Louis Trip

We decided to go to St. Louis this year for vacation!

We rented a cute little house in historic downtown St. Charles.  Each night, we walked 2 doors down for ice cream!  Buddy loved the Superman flavor!

We visited the zoo, and the penguin exhibit was really neat!

This picture is from Frontier Park on the Missouri River.  It was right outside the backdoor of our rental house.

Also, we visited Grant's Farm.

We enjoyed the Magic House, as well.  There were lots of neat exhibits for the babies to play in.  They loved the sand and water ones the best.

Buddy is still telling everyone how we went up in the Arch.  He enjoyed seeing the baseball field where the Cardinals play from up high.

We got to visit with Phil's family, (one of Daddy's work friends) and swim in their pool.  I got some video of that, but I didn't take any pictures.  We had a wonderful trip.  We are already gearing up for our trip next year to... DISNEY WORLD!
