After a few days at home, it was time to pack up the van and head back to Illinois to pick up Marcus and Cale. Then, we drove to Uncle Eric and Aunt Bitsy's house in Godfrey, Illinois-the perfect stepping off point for going into St. Louis. Wednesday night, we just hung out and let the cousins get to play around each other. We had some pacifyer drama-Kella was in heaven-but overall the kids had fun playing together and I know Maddie and Abbie were excited that they had company.
Thursday morning, we drove into the city to go to the Museum of Science and Industry. Garmin took us on an interesting route that totally avoided the interstates. Grammy Pammy was with to help manage 8 kids 8 and under.
The boys really liked this conveyor belt, which was the first thing they saw when we came through the doors.
Lots of things to touch and move
some type of touch pad
glass elevators are always fun. and our group took up the entire thing
a dinosaur dig with lots of small pieces of debris for Kella to eat
more dinosaurs
kids can't resist looking into a hole-this one is looking down onto the interstate
I think we walked the entire museum and then it was time to walk all the way back to our cars to get our food for a picnic lunch. Then, back to the house to rest up for the next day. We were tired, the kids were tired. Ready for a rest.
the classic "cousins eating" photo that I'm famous for
the traditionl "young cousins in the bathtub" that I'm sure many families have
And then to bed to rest up for tomorrow's trip to the Arch.
