St Louis Day Three

The boys were awake by 6 am this morning so we let them watch t.v. and had a lazy morning in the hotel room. Around noon everyone met up again and we decided to go to The Magi House, otherwise known as the Children's Museum. Because of a marathon that was running right in front of the hotel it took us an hour just to get onto the highway. However this was perfect as it allowed the boys to nap.

The Children's Museum is awesome. They have things for kids of all ages. The boys had an absolute blast. Carter loved to play in the water works, where they have a bunch of water tables set up. Tyler loved the car that he was allowed to "fix" They had wheels you could put on, you checked under the hood, checked all the filters, etc. Both of the boys also liked getting to "fish". They have magnetic fish that you catch and then release in another part of the building, You get to watch your fish swim back down stream to the pond. Their favorite part however had to be the construction site. They had a site where a house was being built. The boys got to lay tile, put pipes together for a bathroom, sit in a loader, wear hard hats, and move around rock gravel in wheel barrows. Can't get better than that for our boys! At the museum we said good bye to the Minnesota gang and also The Chicago Pedersons.

For dinner that night the rest of us walked to a pizza joint. This was the one time in the whole trip we had issues with Tyler. However after a time out he shaped up pretty quick. Nana and the Gunison Pedersons were going up to Chicago the next day so we made plans for the morning and made it to bed at bedtime for once.
