Reunited and it feels so good...in Saint Louis!

Last week, the girls and I made the easy drive to Saint Louis to reconnect with the Sacksteders and my spring-breaking mom.  We packed as much into Wednesday through Saturday as was possible with five children and a lethargic pregnant woman.  More than anything, it was just great to be able to spend the time together, it really didn't much matter what we were doing (said the lethargic pregnant woman.)

Mom came bearing gifts!

Kris found this playhouse on clearance at Target for $3!  It was more than worth the money spent.

Sissy is a little walking fool now! :)

We were introduced to The Magic House! Oh my goodness was it incredible!  We only played in one small portion of the facility-and were there for over two and a half hours.  We will definitely be returning!

Sissy found these doors, and behind them were different textured materials...

As soon as she opened this door, she shrieked "BABOO!!" and started rubbing her face on it...I was so grateful that I already had my camera up to my eye and trigger finger poised and ready to shoot when she started loving on the fur...It was so funny!

Whomever says that trucks and dirt are for boys haven't hung out with Emmy before!

Sounds about right.

Emmy got to play t-ball with Uncle JP, Andy, and Clairey...To say that she didn't/doesn't understand how the game works is a gross understatement.  She'll get it, though!

She and Hannah were far more interested in the sand table. :)

My girls love their Uncle JP! :)

Sissy grabbed ahold of Kris' sweater after dinner and pulled her in for some love...

I stole these photos from Kris' camera, I did not bring my A-game this trip...

The aftermath from our ice cream sundae bar. :)

Mimi and the big kids watched our favorite classic, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" complete with two full buckets of popcorn!

We all had fun playing at The Magic House!
