St Louis Trip

Last weekend, we went to St. Louis to see our good friends, the Hudsons.  We had a great time.  We went to the City Museum in downtown St. Louis.  This was more of a place to climb and go down slides than it is a museum.  The boys had a lot of fun.



The science museum is a huge attraction.  It's free to visitors and has lots of cool exhibits.  There is a large bridge that extends over the highway.  Sam and Ben are standing on a window that overlooks the highway.  Kind of scary.

Monster Jam 2014






Party It Up-Ben's 7th Birthday Party

We decided with all of the Christmas activities that we would have Ben's birthday party after the holidays.  Ben wanted a "Titanic" themed birthday party and mom sure did deliver.

Ben's friends from left to right, Gabe, Emmeline, Lachlan, and Ruby

Ben reading some Titanic facts

This game is kind of like Pin the Tail on the Donkey.  The object of the game is that you want to avoid placing your Titanic ship on an iceberg and thus sinking it.  If you place it in the blue area, your ship is safe


Kristin came up with this creative game.  Each team had a round ice cube and they took turns rubbing the ice between their hands.  Whichever team melted the ice first won the game
