Trip to St. Louis

Had a fun few days in St. Louis celebrating the bride and groom to be!  The flower girls tried on a couple of dress options (which I edited to keep them a surprise :)  And the kids got several good projects in with Grandad - now Ellie sometimes joins Jack and Grandad in their work too!  We took the train halfway home which both the kids, especially Jack, just loved.  It was definitely a memorable experience for him.
Friday night stop at McD's on our way south






Sisters-in-law!





















Grandad's enormous drawer full of screwdrivers - the kids loving taking their pick for each project!


And more, just in case he doesn't have the right one in the drawer!


Reading by the fire












Jack just LOVED the outdoor construction site on this visit to the Magic House



The "Jack and the Beanstalk" exhibit












One of my favorite memories of the train ride - Jack was coloring on the seat with Ellie (see above), then suddenly exclaimed "Am I missing anything?!?" and jumped up to color on the seat back so he could look out the window at the same time and "not miss anything."  :-)
