We went to the children's museum in St Louis called The Magic House

This bench below was actually musical chairs each one playing a different section of an orchestra

This water area was a favorite...who doesn't like to splash in water :) Case and Bradyn

Kaylee sticking sponges to a wall with water

Trying to figure out how it worked

Driving the truck ;)

Making a bubble big enough to fit in

Blowing on the bubble and getting ready to pop it ;)already blowing on it

The Oval office ;)

someone was sitting at the desk so I didn't take a picture straight on.

Our construction workers

The beanstalk that went from the lower level all the way to the 3rd floor
The bigger kids we met there were not very considerate of younger ones. Bradyn and Case were frozen more than once trying to climb down.

All in all a very fun day definitely worth going to see if you are in the St Louis area.

Troy Vacation

We went to Troy to help some people put up their barn....these are the only 2 pictures I took of the building one at the beginning and one near the end.

Scraping the bottom of the bowl after Lauren and Michael made peanut butter cake YUM!! :)

The children enjoyed the pigs....the pigs were loving the weather :)

Case S.

With all of the mud we were glad to have this to drive around the farm.Bradyn, Kaylee, Logan, and Case
Riding in the mule=LOTS of FUN!!! Looking for kittens
The kittens were another highlight for them...I am pretty sure the kittens were glad to see us go ;)

I don't think I took any pictures of the guys playing horseshoes, but I have a lot of everyone watching.

~Ornery~

Brett and Tina trying to teach them how to play. Bradyn took his own off after they started and yelled "I got them" ;) Getting ready to play tag football

Bradyn and Courtney

John took Kaylee down several times she liked it the first time, the others not so much :)

~Devon~

Seriously watching her get ready to come down was hilarious!!Melinda and John....very funny in person ;)

She was not impressed with coming down....she loves to go up, but not the ride down on these slides :)

Track and Field Day

Landyn 5(in the grey shirt)with his class getting ready to jumpCaught him mid jump I don't know if you can enlarge the picture, but his boot looks like it is touching his face :)

Checking out how far he jumped

Landyn was getting ready to jump over the bar. He was the only one in his class who made it over without knocking the bar off that I saw.

Some other cousin's Gabe, Josiah, Drew

Devon (7)
He was getting ready to throw the ball

~Dirt Piles~

I LOVE living in the country.....most of the time :)I could do with out the snakes, mice, etc..

Bradyn and Brandy came running in the house telling me about the snake they found in the sandbox. The yellow in the corner of the picture is where they stopped the dumptruck when they discovered the snake. It was dead thankfully and I don't know where the other half is.
