Memorial Day Weekend Trip

For Memorial Day weekend, I took the kids to see Grandma Donna & Grandpa Jerry. We had a great time visiting and finding fun things to do. Patrick stayed home to get some projects done - the long awaited painting of our master bathroom & bedroom. It's been a work in progress since we moved in almost two years ago! It really looks nice and I love the colors. Just need to finish putting our room back together. He worked hard while we were gone!

So, while we were gone... On Sunday, we went to the Science Center in St. Louis and the kids had a great time checking out the mummy and all the hands on stuff, but I think their favorite was definitely the experiments/demonstrations. They had ones called, "Energy out of control" (they made a fire tornado using a mesh trash can, record player, tuna can, alcohol, and a lighter), "Boiling Hot, Boiling Cold" (used a lot of dry ice & fun stuff), and "CO2 where are you" (info on recycling & impact of us and cars on CO2 type stuff). They wanted to watch all of them. It really was a fun time. Then on Monday, Leyton & Nathaniel got to go fishing with Grandpa & Uncle Ben. It was their first fishing trip and they caught a combined 13 fish! It was a special time. That afternoon, I took the kids to the park to play and there was an American Legion baseball game going on, so we also watched that for a while. They boys really liked watching the baseball game. It's so fun watching them get so interested in sports these days. On Tuesday, we came back home and brought Grandma back with us so she could watch Mya for a few days.

The kids were really excited to go and I know the way the trip went, it won't be long before they'll be ready to go again - they're always ready to go there! And don't forget - plenty of dessert to keep your heart content! Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa for all the fun & great hospitality!
