Trip to St. Louis

Preston, Noah, and I haven't been on a vacation just the 3 of us in I don't know how long. We decided to take a mini vacation to St. Louis for the weekend. We went to the Zoo, Hard Rock Cafe, Cardinals game (1st time in the new stadium), and the Arch. We all had a blast, and we are all tired now too! We went to the Zoo Friday morning. Noah had been wanting to see the lions all week long and when we got to the lions area they were hiding in the shady den (I don't blame them, it was hot and humid). Noah's favorite animals to see were the zebras, giraffes, and hippos. He loved every bit of the zoo! Here are some of the animals we saw.














We went on the train right before we left which wa cool because he had already gotten to ride the Metrolink the night before and now he got to ride another train. He kept telling everyone when we got back about getting to ride the train with the blue engine and red cars.




The next stop on our list was a Cardinals game that night. For those of you that don't know, Preston is a HUGE cardinals fan. This was Noah's first Cardinal's game and all of our first time at the new Busch Stadium. Noah was a squirmy handful which is all I'll say about that. He was asking to go home 45 minutes before the game started. Other than that it was quite fun! The video is us waiting to get on the Metrolink to go to the game. We had already been on it a couple of times but it was fun each time. Noah loved to talk about how we were in "St. Loueys" (I love the way he says it). He has also started giving us fishy kisses which is adorable! We had to get a picture of him eating a hot dog at the ball game (classic). We were on bleacher seats and were crowded in most of the game. The people sitting in front and around us were pretty understanding of our poking, touchy feely, kicking son.





I LOVE this next picture!


Saturday we went to the Arch down on the Riverfront. We squeazed into one of the egg shaped elevators and went to the top. I was the only one that had been up in the Arch before (this was my 3rd time). Noah thougt it was really cool to look out the window and see the barges, airplanes, helicopters, and trains. We got a couple shots of the new Stadium while we were up there too. It was fun.

We took Haddie to the St. Louis zoo about two weeks ago. She loved it, but every animal she saw was a "puppy?" :-)

Looks like ya'll had a great time! Noah is as cute as can be. It was fun getting to see him in the video you posted. Congratulations on a second little boy!!! I'm sure Noah will love having a little brother to play with.
