My Punky Bunch: Top it off

We have had a pretty crappy summer. After moving to a super humid area we sit home every day. The most fun we have is going to the grocery store, the library and happy hour at Sonic for slushies. So with the girls starting school in a few days we decided to go have some fun to top of the summer break. We decided on St Louis, and Jesse's co-resident and his family came with us.
I can not even describe to you the amount of fun we had! The 2 1/2 hr drive not so much fun, but the rest yes:)
We started out at the Saint Louis Zoo which is free, you just walk right in. Which was crazy because it is an amazing zoo. We had fun at the zoo and saw penguins and puffins for the first time, but it was hot! After about four hours the kids had had enough. So we drug them to a nearby park and had a picnic, and then I poured icewater on them to cool them down, they loved it!
From there we hit Ted Drewes famous custard shop, it was so good! The kids had custard in little St Louis Cardinals helmets and loved it!
Then we went to a place called City Museum, it is definitely not a museum. It is a huge building that they built mazes, slides, tunnels, wire climbing areas, rope swings, magic shows, ball pits, ramps, etc. I cant even describe this place besides saying it was so awesome. We saw grown men giggling and moms and dads playing right with their kids, it was comparable to Disneyland for sure! So much fun!
There was an art area and the kids loved sculpting with clay, painting pictures, making collages, etc this area was a big hit for our artists. Aniston actually loved the whole place and went down crazy scarey slides, swung on rope swings, and slid down skate ramps right along with the older kids. She was awesome. Joss had a lot of fun too but hers was downsized to the kiddie area, the train, building with blocks, and painting. Ave loved it all, except the slides. She had fun running wild with Ani and exploring all the tunnels. Ry on the other hand did nothing. She sat and read the entire time. She went outside and climbed a few things but thats about it. She said it would be fun with friends or cousins but apparently we are not fun. Her loss:)

We finished the night off with some pizza at Vito's and watching fireworks by the arch. It was a pretty fun last minute ending to our summer break.
