Fun in Missouri

Before baby #2 arrives, we decided to go visit Pa and Great Pa in Missouri. It was a fun trip for all!

The first thing Kaitlyn did when we arrived was go for a ride with Pa in the golf cart.

On a turtle statue outside the St. Louis zoo.

Let's go have some fun daddy!

Kaitlyn talked about riding the merry-go-round for days leading up to our trip.

The St. Louis zoo has a grand Merry-go-Round (carousel).

Kaitlyn and Pa riding the train - she loves train rides too!

In the children's zoo at the St. Louis zoo, they had a turtle walking around. Kaitlyn eventually patted it's shell.

Instead of riding the turtle, she decided to try this frog...

These are photos from "The Magic House", which is a great childrens activity center in St. Louis. Kaitlyn still talks about it. Below, Kaitlyn and Pa are playing in the bubble room.

Pulling the string to make a bubble wall. It really worked!

Kaitlyn sitting on a pulley while daddy and Pa pull her up and down.

Now Kaitlyn's in heaven - a giant sandbox - yahoo!!

A small pond to fish (magnetic rod and fish) in was a hit too!

Back at the lake house, cousin Evie and Matt gave Kaitlyn an early birthday gift. A princess hair style set and a Kai-Lan book. Great gifts!!!
