Family Vacation 2009

A few weeks ago we took a short family vacation to St. Louis. We had a wonderful time, were able to see & do lots of fun things. The kids did a great job and had a lot of fun, despite the lack of sleep they got. Here are a few of our favorite photos from the trip. Enjoy!
The kids posing in front of a water fountain at the entrance of the St. Louis Zoo.
The kids and I on the carousel at the zoo... we ended up riding about 3 or 4 times waiting for the pouring rain to stop.
One of the sea lions we saw at the sea lion show (at the zoo). Probably one of the favorite things we saw at the zoo (besides the zoo train).
Just a glimpse of the beauty at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
We took time to pose for a family photo at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
The climbing beanstalk at The Magic House: St. Louis Children's Museum. This was probably the highlight of the trip for Noelle. She had a blast at the museum and really loved climbing the beanstalk several times.
Rodney & the kids pose for a photo at The Magic House.
The kids had an amazing time traipsing through this little stream in the outdoor area at The Magic House. What fun!
