Friday I did
a lot of cleaning, and Kenny helped me with some yard work too, so that we could play all day Saturday. And play we did! We headed out early to go to the St. Louis zoo. It's free to get into the zoo, but parking is usually $11. However, this time Kenny just dropped us off by the entrance and went and parked on a street so that was free too! I love free things. And when you get there the first hour it's open, the chilren's place is free instead of 5 bucks a person. So anyway the kids loved the zoo. We haven't been since last year and it was so much better this time! I didn't have to stop and go sit in a dirty bathroom stall to nurse Brynlee, and she enjoyed the animals just like Ty. Babies are wonderful, but doing family things like this is a lot more fun when they're just a little bit older.
There were so many beautiful flowers (mostly tulips) that they had all over. I was taking a picture of Ty and Bryn in front of them and this family walks by exclaiming how cute they are, etc. Then she says "hey I'll take a picture of all of you! It's going to be so cute!" she was really excited to do it, so of course I said sure! And Kenny and I didn't plan on matching, haha. We're not cheesy matchers like that. It just happened and we were too lazy to change when we realized.
We were at the zoo for like 4 hours and Bryn was exhausted. So we got some lunch and let her take a little nap in the car. Then we went to the Gateway Arch! We didn't want to wait in long lines and pay lots of money to go to the top, but it was still fun to walk around it and stuff. We had fun the next couple hours just walking around and playing. We stuck our feet in the cold, dirty Mississippi River (well I did), and danced on the sidewalk to the Jazz music being played, rolled down the hill, and played tag (Tyler's new favorite game). We also watched some wedding pictures on the stairs with the arch in the background. Since our anniversary is this month, it was fun to watch them. The weather was perfect on Saturday for this wedding, just like it was for ours.
