night of music

This time of year is my favorite in St. Louis, with something going on every single weekend. Last night we had a wonderful time on Art Hill last night listening to the symphony. 

We pretended to go night-night at one point. 

While listening to the music, we were treated to a beautiful sunset.

 

Unfortunately we left before the end to get a little boy to bed, and we missed the firework finale. I’m sure our neighbors probably enjoyed listening to the music without the running commentary from my toddler.

this is what

working from home looks like with a toddler

happy labor day weekend!

we’re going to the zoo…zoo…zoo

We had beautiful weather over the weekend so we took advantage of it and headed to the zoo. I was pretty awesome and brought my camera along to take great shots, only to realize that the battery was still in the charger at home. Another reason I’m thankful for iPhones.

First train ride!

Cam discovered if you brush near the goat’s tail, it would wag. We spent the rest of our time in the goat pen helping the goats have happy tails.

He loved the carousel ride, narrating the entire time, “Up. Down. Up. Down.”

 Cam always enjoys visiting the monkeys. In one pen there was a sick monkey under veterinary care, snuggled up under a blanket. Cam sweetly patted the window and told the monkey it’s okay.

the latest craze

SURPRISE FACE!

This kid cracks me up.

magic house

While Chris is busy on the basement, Cam and I are finding our own fun on Saturday mornings. A couple weeks ago we stopped at The Magic House. Always a lot of fun.

But I don’t want to be a goalie!

 

He still loves his ABCs. I loved that there was a bench across from this.

Still rocking the toddler smile.

I’m on a boat!

Cam built his own amusement park with lots of slides and tunnels with the foam blocks. Probably the highlight of the visit.

I love my Saturday mornings with my kiddo.

fountain fun

 Cam and I met our friends Stacy and Illyria at Tower Grove Park last Saturday for some fountain fun.

Cam took a little while to warm up to the fountain, but he was soon having fun.

Illyria had no fear of the fountains.

When the fountain spout would go away, Cam would shout “OH NO!” until he found another fountain spout to play in. Every time.

Then the wading pool filled up and there was more to explore.

Towards the end of our visit to the park, he finally braved the large fountain.

I don’t know why it took us so long to get to the park, especially since it’s so close to home. But we won’t be making that mistake again.
