City Museum

We have friends who are from St. Louis who have suggested we visit the City Museum. They have told us about it for years.

City Museum

The 10 story slide is a huge draw for all visitors.

So glad we took the time to visit. What an amazing place for young and old to slide, jump, climb and crawl while exploring recycled everyday objects made into something for the propose of fun.

 Seeing gems of buildings was also quite exciting. How often can you see a chimney or top of a building up close?

Cardinals Game 2

Our seats for Game 2 was on the other side of the stadium for the 1st base side.

 It was also a later game, so we were not as hot! Atmosphere was still great and we had a blast enjoying the game.

Cardinals Game One

Happy 4th of July! What better way than to celebrate freedom with a baseball game.
We arrived into St. Louis this morning and were able to freshen up before the game!

Our hotel is rather close to the arch and the ballpark so we enjoyed the walk with fans.

Lunch in Dallas

We ate lunch at Reunion Tower.

Train Trip

We leave for our trip to St. Louis tomorrow. Last year we took an exciting road trip. Not wanting to drive this time and to also enjoy an Amtrak train trip we were in luck because we have vouchers from our rained out baseball tickets from last season. We are excited to spend the 4th of July in St. Louis. Catch some ball games, visit museums and see the arch. 

June Sports Camps

To pass the days and stay in shape while meeting kids in the area we signed Lucien up for several camps put on by the school district. 

First came: Football 3 days of drills and plays. The final day a tournament which his team won. 

Next Camp: Baseball... Great time!

Final Camp: Basketball, 4 full days of drills and games. 

Hummer Fun

Got to take the Hummer out for some adventure. We got to bounce around a lot. We got to take a wheel off the ground. We went up and down steep mountains. Some parts we found tight and got a bit stuck. Since we were there with another Hummer that was not a problem. We left with mud and dirt inside and out.

Astros Game

We were given Astros tickets by a family member who could not attend. We dropped off Major to stay with GGma while we went to the game and had a blast. They were playing the Angels and the Astros loved to hate on Albert Pujols. We simply enjoy baseball. 

During the game an Angels player Andrelton Simmons tossed a foul ball to a little boy in front of us. His buddy was crushed. The next inning while warming up Albert Pujols was on deck. People in the stands began to heckle him. A foul ball bounced back his way and he waved off the bat boy who came to pick it up. He instead tossed it to the other little boy in front of us. They are now his biggest fans. The game goes on and although the Astros are losing we are having a good time. The wave gets going, Orbit comes by, it happens to be StarWars night and it is just good game fun. 

A bit later the dugout manager comes to the side of the dugout and begins to toss balls into the stands. The little kids in front of us get one again. The dad suggests he give it to the kid behind them, that being Lucien. Now the story goes that the kid got the ball from Pujols mixed up with the other ball. Either way we had a great time and Lucien came home with wonderful memories and a baseball from the game.
