Visit to St. Louis

We had a great time visiting with Chris' side of the family over the long weekend. We left at 2am so the kids would sleep....didn't quite work out very well, but they did terrific overall, so I can't complain. Here is Ryan with Chris' mom, "Mimi".

And here's Ryan with Uncle Hunt, Chris' brother.

The reason we went was because one of Chris' cousins was getting married and it gave us a great excuse to see the extended family. While we were there though, Chris' parents had a little Sip and See for Ryan and we went to the St. Louis zoo--which Anna-Kate loved!! Here's Anna-Kate on the way to the zoo...she LOVES riding in her stroller! I love the double stroller, even though it's a beast.

Girl loves fish. In fact, if you ask her to tell you her whole name it's, "Anna-Kate _____ fish".

There was a new exhibit on dinosaurs and Anna-Kate ended up being afraid of them. So, in an effort to get a family picture (which ultimately failed) Chris tried to set her mind at ease...

She was so excited to see real turtles.

"Look Mimi, giraffes"

Family picture in front of the giraffes. They were so close that some of the kids were feeding them leaves right out of their hand!

Ryan had the best seat in the house.....the zoo is really great, but incredibly spread out...we were so tired by the end!

Riding the train in the zoo.

She is obsessed with seeing herself in pictures and is interested in the "self portrait". :)

We got back late last night--we had fun, but it sure is good to be home. Though, I hate getting home because it means LAUNDRY time!!

Love the pics! It's been too long since I've seen AK and Ryan.
