Gavin and Lacey

St. Louis Zoo

After the wedding Brent and Linell and us took some of the kids to the St. Louis Zoo. It is probably one of my favorite zoos. We had a great time.

The kids found the waterfall at the zoo and Gavin decided it was hot and he was going in!

Then Britton decided to join him.

Before we knew it they were all in it!!

Then Linell and I decided to join them....It felt soooo good!

Then they attacked Allen and tried to get him wet also :)

Turtle Park

After Rachelle's wedding Brent and Linell came with us to Turtle Park. This is the first time we have been back since Weston died. So it was kindof bittersweet for us. He loved coming to this park. A few months before he died we were in St. Louis and he was soooo adamant about going to turtle park. At the time Allen and I thought it was kind of funny because he wanted to go so bad. He never really begged us for things like he did that day to go to the park. Turtle park is just a little park off the side of the highway in St. Louis. A lady made the park for her grandchildren and other kids to play at. Each turtle is a named for one of her children or grandchildren. My kids have always enjoyed climbing on the turtles and running around. There is also a huge cement snake coiled around some eggs.
