A few weekends ago we packed up and headed to STL for the weekend. We met some friends and their kids up there for a great weekend away! First stop was West County mall for lunch and a stop at the Lego store for Asher, since the next stop was to meet our friends at the American Doll store where Amelia had some money to pick something out.

Amelia has never been to an American Doll store, we got her a bitty baby while in NYC last year and she LOVES baby. So when our friends told us they wanted to take their daughter to the American Doll store to pick out a big doll for her birthday I was a little worried A would want a big doll too (they aren't just an everyday purchase, averaging around $130 a doll). Beforehand we explained to Amelia that we were going to the American Doll store but she was NOT getting a new big doll, but she could pick something out for Baby. She told us later that her favorite part of the trip was this store. Watch out checkbook.

After meeting up with our friends and checking into our hotel we headed to the City Museum. Which seemed like a great idea when we were planning this trip. Not. So. Much. First off let me say, the City Museum is awesome. Really it is, however it is not awesome if you are 'those' parents. Nathan and I are 'those' parents and the City Museum was a nightmare for us. First off all there were about a million people and kids everywhere. Asher was under the age limit, so he was free, therefore he didn't require a bracelet where we could write our phone number in case of getting lost. So I took a pen out and wrote my number on his little hand. Yes crazy, I know. I'm telling you there were so many tunnels, holes, slide, hiding places, and mazes in general in this place you NEVER knew where they were going to pop out. This was NOT ok with us. Not to mention, fitting in these places as an adult was super hard, they even sold knee pads at the ticket window, no joke, Whew...ok sorry. City Museum, awesome if you have older kids, not so awesome for toddlers with no fear or stranger danger. :) We were there two and a half hours, just about two hours too much for me! :) This happened to be Asher's favorite part of or St. Louis trip, go figure.

Sunday was Zoo day. St. Louis has a totally awesome zoo, if you haven't been it's a must do! We enjoyed ourselves so much. The weather was prefect and the kids behaved. A win win if you ask me.
