A Few More...

St. Louis has so many fun activities for families!

Here is an excurtion to the Butterfly House. It is really fun to go and see all the different types of butterflies. They are gorgeous. The girls all tried to sit very still so that the butterflies would land on them.... and it paid off... a black and white variety landed right on Whitney's knee!


Jackson thought it was AMAZING! He would chase after the butterflies... which meant that I chased after him. Here he is sitting in the butterfly chair. He didn't like holding still for the photo.

We also went to the really beautiful Missouri Botanical Garden with Mia's school class. It was pretty awesome! Besides the gorgeous plant and flowers they have some wicked cool sculptures that the kids can climb on and in. Here is one of the kid's favorites (I love that they all have to climb into the nose cavity). The other photo is Mia peeking out through the teeth.













Next is a St. Louis classic. Ted Drewes frozen custard... Yum! It is always packed and always good. We went back last week and I just wish I would have ordered extra "Teddad's" the famous frozen custard sandwiched between two of Dad's Famous scotch Oatmeal Cookies (another St. Louis staple). It is pretty sad that we went more for the frozen custard than the butterfly house and the botanical garden.... but it is so worth it!
