fabulous & exhausting EPIC trip to St. Louis

We just returned from a quick but epic family trip to St. Louis. It was a mix of fabulous and exhausting- kind of like life with 4 kids always is but as I realize we have but 18 summers with these precious and make-me-nutz kids we more and more want to make the most of this fleeting time.

Our second full day there ended with loading our sweaty, bruised, & bleeding (ball pit meets elbows) selves into the van for the drive home after properly exploring (hence the injuries) the City Museum. I will say it again- it is one of my FAVORITE places ever! So unique and one of a kind- get yourself there if you have not been yet. Such a creative place and every time I wonder how people do not get lost or die in there. :) This was Jason' first time and even he had to admit it lived up to our hype.

The past few days have been 98 degrees & the heat was definitely insane!!

Let's do this!

hotel wake up. They actually slept until 9am!!!!

St. Louis Day 1- we hit Six Flags hard. Highlights: all kids went on every ride they were tall enough for & earned their own shake, Abishai rode his first real roller coasters (tears followed by joy), Rayne was fearless & was still doing cartwheels at 9pm, Evy & Anni we’re nervous about Mr Freeze but ended up loving it, & we have never been more thankful for a water park for the hottest part of the day (Can we say #swampbutt y'all #itwashotyo #overshare!!) As Abishai said as Pandemonium halted to a stop “it was EPIC!”
