The inside of the City Museum has lots of hands on activities for the kids. These pictures are of the "Caverns". There are many holes and hidden tunnels to climb through--many too small for an adult. The first pic is of Kale reaching the end of a ten-story slide

City Museum

Went to the City Museum in St. Louis on Friday. One of the coolest museums for kids ever. A friend described it as a place that would have existed before lawsuits were common...he was right. The kids are encouraged to climb on everything. There are so many tunnels, slides and things to climb through you could spend two days and never climb through the same thing. And much of this is several stories off the ground. The following pics are from the outside of the museum.

St. Louis

Went to St. Louis on Friday (April 2). It was crazy crowded. But we saw some animals. The primates were very active. Of

course, they were doing things that made us laugh like we are still junior highers (think toilet humor). Other things that we were not expecting to talk to our kids about for a few more years (think bedroom humor).

Camping

We went camping this week (Spring Break). We headed out to Dry Fork Camp ground in Mark Twain National Forest (about 15 miles out of Columbia). We were the only ones there (until about 12AM when some really loud people showed up). This was Fin's first camp experience and Kale's first since she was a baby. [These pics were taken with my phone so they are somewhat blurred]

Hiking

The tents were the main attraction

SMORES!!!!!!!!

Ditch the Hershey Bars and get Nutella...It's so good!

Like every young boy, the two things Connor was most interested in was playing with the fire and playing with a knife. If we had had a gun, that would have probably been up there to.

Kale is dancing while hiking. It's the new thing.
