Des Peres???

So this past weekend we went with our friends the Perry's to St. Louis so that Mike and Dave could check out Des Peres (pronounced 'day pear') hospital in St. Louis- it is an option for our next 2 years. We decided to make it a mini-vacation. We crammed in our van (have I said lately how much I LOVE our mini-van?)-we went shopping- the guys went to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game and then we went to Grants Farm. It was a lot of fun. The guys were really impressed with the hospital and the area around it was really beautiful. As of right now it is Mikes first choice- so we'll see!
-oh and there are a few pictures of our quick trip to Columbia- which always includes lunch at Chuck-E Cheese- it's a tradition!



huh- Collin is so not impressed with this ride- unlike his sister.


....and she's off!

Story:- so they sell these babies bottles of milk for $1 so that you can feed the goats-we thought the kids would like to do it- not so much. We made the mistake of sending in Samantha ahead of us with the bottle in had- not a good idea- the poor thing was clobbered by the goats!We quickly grabbed her and the bottle and had Mike take over- as you can see they were all over him- and poor Samantha could not get high enough!


Collin actually like the goats- but then again they didn't quite attack him like they did his sister!

This is the only picture we could get where they were at least all looking in the same direction!

We also got a picture with a Budweiser Clydesdale- I'll post that later......

So I had a similar experience with the goats at Grant Farm. I was a bit older though although I was on crutches. They should have a warning sign! Fun pictures. Collin is getting to be so old.

You caved! Mikes Hair... Super cute shirt, and Collin is so cute I seriously cant get enough of his cute smile. If Mike was 3 feet taller I think Samantha would have made it to the top!
