Mommy/Daddy Dates

On Sunday we went on seperate Mommy/Daddy dates. Jess and Graci went to the Magic House, and Maddux and Jim went to the City Museum. St. Louis is packed full of things to do and probably doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The city museum is so unique and crazy, I can't imagine another place like it. It is impossible to describe, just imagine a four story warehouse jungle gym with animals, aquariums, slides, airplanes, a bus, and miles (not literally) of mazes. If you don't believe me, that is a sea turtle next to Maddux at the top picture, and if you look close at the second picture you'll see people climbing all over in the background. A little boy's dream. The day was ended at Crown Candy for some ice cream, and the boys were pretty wiped out.

The Magic House is now enormous for those of you who haven't been lately, but packed with awesome stuff to do. Mommy and Graci painted pictures, built sculptures, posed on the shadow wall, took a tour of Lewis and Clarks expedition, and saw just about everything possible except for "the ball thing" (Graci). It was followed by a cool treat at ColdStone and finally heading home to collapse. Sorry there are no pictures, but Jessica now has her own camera that she can carry in her purse.
