Ella's First Vacation



Chris and I got a wild hair and decided to take the kids on a vacation over fall break. It also seemed like a good use of my maternity leave, since I have to go back in 2 weeks (boo hoo!!) We drove 10 hours to St. Louis on Thursday and we were all VERY excited when we saw the city lights. Ella did great, slept most of the time and Nic also did a very good job keeping himself entertained. We enjoyed a nice dinner that night then we all went back and past out. We brought Ella's pack and play and she slept all night until 8AM the next morning. On Friday we stopped by the City Museum in downtown St. Louis on our way to Branson. It was one of the neatest kids museums I have ever been too...a definite MUST if you are in the area. Nic enjoyed about 5 hours of non-stop play, and climbed 7 stories to a suspended airplane in the sky and climbed out through a wire tunnel (still suspenede 7 stories in the air). Chris ventured along and I caught a frieghtned snapshot of his face while him and Nic were looking down from the wire tunnel (it was quite amuzing). Ella and I enjoyed walking around having some girl time together. Before we made our way to Branson (where my familiy was) Chris wanted to stop by and get some pictures of the kids by the arch. Ella's first visit to a landmark...It was a fun day!
