Take me to St. Louie

We had a BLAST in St Louis this past weekend!
Friday afternoon we went to the Zoo. It was really a perfect day. It was warm and sunny, but still not too hot. We saw all the basics (elephants hippos zebras giraffes tigers snakes and monkeys), so we had no complaints.
it was such a great experience for Brandon and I to take our daughters to the place where we still remember going to when we were kids. It was fun then, and it was fun now! After the Zoo we went and ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Chesterfield. Of course, it was rediculously good. Then we took our full bellies back the Marriott at Union Station to stay the night. It was FABULOUS!

This weekend was the Race for the (Breast Cancer) Cure, so there were about a Billion people downtown i think. it was VERY busy!
Bella kept stealing Brandons hat, so we bought her a St Louis Cardinals hat and had her nickname (Bella Bug) embroidered on it there. its pink with scratch n sniff strawberries on it. SOO CUTE! and she actually kept it on (with almost constant flipping from front to backward) for quite a while. THEN we went to Chuck E Cheese. It was so rediculously fun. I was the only one who had been there before. Its hard to tell who had the most fun, but i would say its probably a tie between Brandon and Sophia. It might be impossible not to revert to childhood there, its SO fun. And with all the tickets Sophia got a few little trinkets she has been cherishing ever since.
Well with all the fun we were having we decided to stay an extra night. So we went back to the hotel to give the girls a quick nap because they were exhausted. (Very quick nap, unfortunately) Then we went to the mall to do a little looking around. didnt really get anything, but sophia rode the carousel and we played held a very cute mini dauschund at the puppy store. By the time we got back to the hotel for the night, the girls were conked!
Then Sunday morning we were homeward bound.

Like i said, it was a GREAT weekend!
