Weekend in St. Louis

We had a fun (and hot!) weekend in St. Louis for Father's Day! On Saturday we went to the Cardinals game, which was very fun. We stayed at the Hyatt downtown and the kids enjoyed swimming in the rooftop pool that overlooks the arch grounds. It's kind of funny to look down on the arch instead of up at it!

Drew took the train down a day early and spent some time with friends from our years living in STL. He had a great time and we picked him up yesterday to return home with us.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Grant's Farm and the kids loved the tram ride to see the animals in the park. We were headed across a covered bridge in a tram and a mama buffalo and two young calves were standing on the bridge. Like any good mama, she stood her ground and protected those babies, stomping her hooves and snorting and not letting us through ... until a park truck came along and moved them onto safety. We then walked through the petting zoo area, and Abby was not too excited about the goats that wanted to nibble on the bottom of her skirt! But she had fun watching Drew give them milk in little bottles.

It was especially fun to have a chance to see the Clydesdales and their foals. We hit the road about 4pm and got home a few hours after a pretty big storm hit here, but we did not have any rain on our drive.
