St. Louis!

Since we didn't make it to St Louis for our normal Thanksgiving visit this year, we took advantage of the long weekend this month and paid the Carsons a visit! 

First stop, the Kirkwood train station, where we saw not one, not two, but THREE trains! Oh boy!

Watching the train go by

Here comes another train!

Getting ready to check out the station

Olson really wanted the case "open, open"

Checking out the pictures around the station

Liddy Costen found it fascinating

Watching the third train go by from the park across the tracks

Next up...Tilles Park! They had a great play area, and even though it was a little chilly, Olson (and Daddy) had a great time!

Bravely walking across the wobbly bridge

Big smile on the slide!

Liddy Costen can't wait until she can play instead of watch

Wow! Look how high up I am!

Wheeeeeeee!

And now for the main event--spending time with the family!

A little lunch at Scarecrow...

I think she's thinking about crying...

Liddy Costen loves her Grandma!

Olson wasn't in a great mood....

...but it wasn't something some Little Einsteins couldn't fix

And we did some last minute hanging out with Aunt Lisa and John and Will before we had to leave.

Liddy Costen doesn't mind being spoiled by Aunt Lisa!

Will and John with Grandpa and Aunt Betsy

Poor Grandpa usually got Liddy Costen when she was fussy

But she loves her Grandpa!

Liddy Costen was happy with Grandma!

Love the fingers, Will

Not sure what it is about Uncle Keith that makes these boys silly

I love how she is checking out Will

Will and John were awfully sweet with her

I think I like being the only girl!

Thanks for a great visit, and we can't wait to see you again soon! We love you!
