The City Museum

The City Museum, heaven on earth for kids, hell for parents. I'll get back to that.

On Thursday Valynn had her Living Presidential Museum. She did a wonderful job and we're so proud of her. Valynn dressed up as Herbert Hoover and read a biography about him. She also made a poster about interesting facts on him. She was so proud of it she put it in her memory tote. I also got to listen to the history of other presidents.

On Friday we headed to St. Louis. Satursday we went to the St. Louis zoo. The kids had a great time looking at the different animals. Kyleigh liked the elephants, giraffes, and kangaroos. She has been hopping like a little Joey since then. Kyra and Valynn liked the zebras. Mason liked the big cats. 

On Sunday we went to the arch and went swimming. The kids thought the view was awesome and loved being that high. Here are pictures from inside the capsule riding to the top.

On Monday we went to the City Museum. If you're not familiar with it, here is the link to the last time we were there. Here is the link to the museum. It's one big playground for kids. There are tunnels, caves, ropes, barrels, skateboard ramps, sponges, and slides 10 stories high (trust me our thighs confirm it's a 10 story walk up). The kids go through one hole and can end up on an entirely different floor, and they aren't always easy to follow because the spaces might be too small for adults. The kids thought it was great. Kyleigh climbed up the 10 flights to the top of the slide and went down the first time anyway.

We had a great time and it was a much needed get away. This morning I worked a 1/2 day for Kindergarten. We have an extremely busy week ahead. Tomorrow night the Sunday School is serving the Lenten Soup supper at St.  Timothy, we're bringing soup. On Thursday I'm taking pumpkin bars to the Teacher Appreciation supper. On Saturday we're helping host a going away party for our friends the Endres'.
