Gasp... has it been this long since I've blogged?!? Josh's birthday... I can't believe he is FIVE! Since he is ALL about cars now, we got him some motorcycles that race. This was taken just before the red one busted into my knuckles! Ouch!
The world's longest game of Hopscotch -- or a good effort at reaching it! This stretched from our house, up the street past about five other houses. Quite a game! And quite a bunch of kids!
Rob got promoted! WooHoo!
This is me, changing his rank out. Josh was happy to have the old CPT rank :-)
My sweet husband had flowers for me -- in Engineer colors, no less!
And we took our first trip to St Louis. It was a bust. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the day we picked to go would also be football season opener games for Mizzou (downtown STL) and Washington Univ (Forest Park, aka the zoo) AND a Cardinals baseball game. Traffic was INSANE. We were late to our Arch reservation, had to pay for parking (though we had a free parking pass for making reservations online), and got our patience tested. By the time we made it over to Forest Park (still not knowing about the Washington game), we were redirected AWAY from the zoo. All we wanted to do was go up in the Arch and go to the Zoo. We didn't get to do the zoo. Next time. Next time... we will do a bit more research into that one.
If you've never gone up into the Arch, this is the 'pod' you have to ride. Horribly small. Horribly creaky. Horribly cramped. Horribly small (did I mention that?).
And apparently, I wasn't the only one feeling a bit claustrophobic. Check out the terror in that face!
Since we weren't able to do everything we wanted to do, we felt like we'd let the kids down a little. That is, until we drove by and saw this baby lit up...
Ahh... fresh and hot. A yummy ending to a not so great {but quite a learning experience} trip to St Louis!

Great pics, wissa, especially of the size of the POD! Remember that I said there wasn't enough oxygen in there for all of us...that was a tiny space but I wouldn't take anything for actually going up there!
How many kids got sick eating hot donuts? AND how many did Rob eat? You can't low carb at a Krispy Kreme store.
