Around Town...

The girls are at a fun age (depending on the day) to check out some of the attractions around St. Louis. Since we have been home from vacation we have been to quite a few. It's been great. Like a mini-vacation right here at home! The weather has been awesome, so why not? Right?!

Today, It's Official...

I am O.L.D. My sweet, YOUNGER, sister turns the big THREE-OH! The funny thing is, we may appear like adults, have husbands, homes, and children, but we are still the same silly 10 and 12 year olds that I remember from 20 years ago.

Have a great one, Suz! You are only as old as you feel!

We love you!

Saturday....In The Park....

Adam took the girls and I on a picnic last Saturday. He supplied all the fixings-in a basket and all.

The only bad thing-the ducks weren't hungry, which was quite disturbing for Anne! :)

A Great Thing

Can you believe all of this for a little more then 20 bucks?

Anne felt the desire to SMELL everything that we had brought home.

A few weeks back, Aaron, Adam's brother told us about a produce co-op that his neighbor was putting together. After some inquiring we decided we were very interested. Yesterday was our first produce pickup. It was a lot of fun to watch the whole process happen. Trisha, Aaron's neighbor and her husband Bob have a large truck come, drop off a HUGE amount of produce on their driveway to be sorted evenly among the different families, meanwhile approximately 50 people descend on their residence to pick up the goods. It is a large undertaking for the responsible parties. Adam and I are so excited that we have found this Thanks Aaron for bringing it to our attention and thank you Trisha for taking this on for everyone. It is GREAT!

Holy Mackerel!

Adam and Doug decided to go fishing one random day while we were in Gulf Shores. It was a blast for them. They caught over 30 Mackerel. They brought home five.

The menu that night was chicken. It was quickly placed back into the fridge. The fishermen made us a fabulous fish dinner.

We didn't JUST sit at the beach...

One of the evenings we decided to venture out to a highly recommended destination. Lulu's Restaurant. It was a great time.
They provided misters for the heat, sand pits for the kids, cool drinks for the adults and just and all around great atmosphere. We ate on the water and were even visited by a few sea gull's. (not one of my favorites of God's creations!)
