Visit from Steve, Cathy, Sarah, and Will

Our California cousins came to visit for the first time and we had lots of fun.  Our first stop was the Garden on a humid 90 degree day in April. 

The King and Queens on the throne.

Tulip time - my favorite time at the Garden.

Kids (and adults!) never grow tired of the sheep. 

It's good to see that 10 year old cousin Sarah still enjoys dress up. 

The cousins are finally old enough to all sleep in the same room!  yeah!

Karl's toy boat had an impressive debut on our pond. . .until Steve took it up the duck ramp in the middle of the pond and flipped it.  We waited about 20 minutes (about the time it took Karl to go home and put on his swim trunks) for it to blow to shore.

Everybody loves Auntie Cathy!

Hanging out on the scales while waiting to go up the arch. 

At the top!

This photo was taken seconds before group panic set in and all the kids wanted to go down, "now!"

The cages are locked and loaded to go up the arch. 

Like mother, like son.  Can you see the family resemblance?

It was much colder on our day at the arch.  The saying goes if you don't like the weather in the spring in St. Louis, just wait a day. 

Enjoying malts at Crown Candy Kitchen. 

Anyone else want me to finish theirs off? 

A trip to St. Louis isn't complete w/o a visit to the zoo.

Will was very excited to see a rhino. 

In Sarah's words, "the City Museum is AWESOME!"

Sunset just before our walk around the fountains at Forest Park. 

Love the hands in the pockets. . .makes them look so grown up!

Hangin' with cousins is the best.

The "kids table." 

Thanks for the visit!  We love you!
