Trip to Missouri

Over Labor day weekend we went to visit Greg and Sarah and family in Missouri. It was a long drive down there. Matt was so excited to see Morgan, that when we got there at 1 in the morning he said he was going to go in the house and play with her. The next day we went to Morgans favorite park. The kids had fun throwing rocks in the pond. Of course Matt being a boy was the only one to get really dirty.

After that one of Greg's neighbors is a fireman at the fire station so we stopped by for a tour. The kids LOVED it! Little Shelby was all over the place and Matt and Morgan wanted to see everything all at once. The guy giving the tour was great, he gave the kids coloring books and stickers and a really cool fire hat.


When it was time to look at the trucks Matt couldn't contain himself any longer. I turned around and said "Where is Matt?" Turns out he found a way in to a closed firetruck by climbing in the back way, he really wanted to drive one.


And the kids had fun sliding down the pole (not really they just pretended to)


That night it was fun in the tub!

Sunday we all took the hour pulse drive to the St. Louis Zoo. Let me tell you, I think I am spoiled for all other Zoo's. It was fee to get in and it was big and had tons of variety. And the exhibit houses were not done cheaply. The train alone was really cool, it made stops where you could get off or on. It also went into tunnels and you could actual see the animals and had a guided tour. I can see why it is like the 2nd best zoo in the country.


The men didn't want to ride the awesome train so we went with out them.

It was so much fun to see Greg, Sarah, Morgan and Shelby we sure do miss them and are glad they are coming for Morgans Birthday! If only you guys could live a few hours closer.
