St. Louis/Memorial Day Weekend/My 28th Birthday!

We headed down to St. Louis to visit the DiTore's this past weekend and we had a blast! It was so fun to hang out, catch up and see Clark & Lola together. Clark has changed so much since we saw him last (in October!) and he's ready to be a Big Bro for sure!

On Saturday morning (my 28th), we hit the St. Louis Zoo. This was Lola's first trip to a zoo and she seemed to enjoy seeing all the animals. We even got to go in a Penguin House, which was very cool and very welcomed on that hot day! After the Zoo, we lunched at Adrianna's on The Hill and is was sooooo tasty. Then for dinner, they threw me a lil Birthday BBQ, complete with brats, burgers and a yummy cake! After the kiddos went to bed, we relaxed and played Rock Band.

On Sunday, we visited The Magic House, their cool and huge children's museums. Lola enjoyed the mirrors in the tot section and loved playing at the water table. Shockingly, she didn't get soaked. We had awesome St. Louis BBQ (think pulled pork and brisket) for lunch at a place that was featured on the Food Network's Man vs. Food. And later that night, we walked a few blocks down the street for a sweet Italian treat-Gelato! We gave Lola a teenie tiny taste and she enjoyed it! We headed back north early Monday morning, but we packed alot of fun into two short days.
