aT THE END OF OUR TRIP WE WENT TO THE ZOO IN ST. LOUIS. MOM WAS ABLE TO TEND CHLOE WHILE BRAD AND I RAN IN THE ST. LOUIS HALF MARATHON. ST. LOUIS ZOO IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES. LOVE THE HIPPO (YOU JUST CAN'T LOOK AWAY!) LOVE THE PENGUINS. LOVE THE CHIMPS (HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THEM DO THIS?)
GRANDMA RUTHIE TREATED US TO A TRAIN RIDE. GUESS WHO LOVED LOVED LOVED IT?
IT WAS SO PRECIOUS TO HEAR GRANDMA TELL CHLOE ALL THE STORIES WITH ALL THE FUNNY VOICES THAT ONLY A GRANDMA KNOWS BY HEART. CHLOE GIGGLED AND ASKED FOR MORE.
NOW WE HAVE FRESH FROZEN STRAWBERRY JAM.
MY FRIENDS MADE THESE REALLY CUTE SUPERMAN/BATMAN CAPES FOR THEIR BOYS AND I WANTED CHLOE TO HAVE SOMETHING SO MOM AND EYE WENT TO WALMART AND COMBINED OUR CREATIVE BRAINS AND CAME UP WITH THIS "SUPERHERO" (AS CHLOE CALLS IT) CAPE.
GRANDMA BOUGHT CHLOE THESE CUTE GLASSES. SHE PRETTY MUCH WEARS THEM DAILY. WE CALL HER "HOLLYWOOD"
THE BACK OF THE CAPE.
WE SPENT A GORGEOUS DAY AT THE PARK.
I WILL REALLY MISS THOUSAND HILLS PARK. ITS SUCH A TRANQUIL PLACE.
SHE IS GROWING SO BIG. SHE LOVES TO PUT HER HANDS IN HER POCKETS. SHE SURE MIMICS EVERYTHING WE DO RIGHT NOW.
GRANDMA WAS A GOOD SPORT.
DOES LIFE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
iN KANSAS CITY THEY HAD THIS RABBITS SET UP ALL OVER THE PLAZA FOR EASTER. WE STROLLED ALONG THE STREETS. ATE AT PF CHANGS. AND LET CHLOE PLAY PLAY PLAY.
WE WENT TO THE WIZARD OF OZ EXHIBIT AT THE CROWN CENTER. IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY COOL. AFTER THE EXHIBIT WE ATE THE BEST FROZEN CUSTARD AT A PLACE CALLED SHERIDANS. GO THERE. IT'S A MUST ONE DAY. GET THE GRASSHOPPER.
