Turkey Day Travel

     Wow...Has it really been almost two weeks since Thanksgiving???  I should really quit slacking and get to posting some of our fun that we had in St. Louis.  I know it sounds strange, but yes we did take a mini vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday.  Hey, you have to take what you can get sometimes.  Back to the trip.  We headed out on Wednesday night with the best of intentions of hitting the zoo first thing in the morning.  Um, yea, about that...Mother Nature definitely had some other ideas for us.  It was cold and snowing, so instead of the zoo we did a little swimming in the morning and then went watched Tangled.  Such a cute/fun movie.  After the movie we went and had our Thanksgiving dinner.  Definitely not as good as a homemade/traditional one, but who can complain when I did not have to do any of the clean up.  Friday we decided to head to the City Museum.  All I can say is WOW, oh and OUCH!  Not sure who designed the place, but they have a creative imagination and definitely designed it for little people.  We had such a good time and spent the whole day there.  Saturday we went to the Magic House.  Another great and fun place to go.  The kids enjoyed running from exhibit to exhibit and playing with all the different things there.  Normally I like to be a little more interactive with the places we go, but for some reason just standing back and watching them have a good time was enough for me.  After the Magic House we headed home following the Lewis and Clark Trail.  We will definitely be heading back to St. Louis again some time.  I would still like to check out their zoo and they have what looked like a pretty neat science museum too.  Here are some of the photos from our trip.  They are not the greatest due to the lighting not being that great in either place.

He had absolutely no fear when climbing up there.

Not sure where this was, but I have to say that the girl has a thing for manequins.

Let's just say this was cramped quarters.
