more St. Louis!!
Day 6 continued:
We spent lots of time looking for, and finding, lots of fireflies. St. Louis has a lot of them.
It was exciting for everyone
Day 7: We visited Grant's Farm, picked up Ma2 from the airport in St. Louis and visited Eckert's Farm
We visited Grant's Farm - it used to belong to Ulysses S. Grant
Feeding the baby goats is always fun
Feeding birds - the birds loved Matthew's hat
Emma had fun feeding the birds
We recreated this picture from when Grant was a little toddler and we lived here. We tried to get Grant to take a picture with a "Grant's Farm" t-shirt, and he cried about it. Grant used to call it "Mine Farm" when he was little or maybe "Mein Farm"
He did a grumpy face this time
We visited Eckert's - our favorite local farm
Getting frozen custard at Eckert's
Scott laughing at me for taking too many pictures
Day 8: We attended Scott's retirement ceremony on base, had some tasty St. Louis BBQ and visited the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
Our reason for going to St. Louis in the first place is Scott's retirement ceremony. Here we are getting ready for it.
And here are bunch of pics at the retirement
And eating some treats afterwards
Scott with his plaque
It was great to be able to go to St. Louis for this!!
Back at our rental house on base - John is getting eaten by the couch
Going out for St. Louis BBQ
Visiting the Arch
Inside the capsule to go up to the top of the Arch
And up at the top - it looks like Grant is pointing at a picture but its a window with downtown St. Louis in the background.
Down at the bottom again - we got to see so much while we were there.
We love you, St. Louis!!
