DAY AT THE ZOO/NIGHT IN MARISSA

Saturday morning we took off for the St. Louis Zoo, even though Adam was battling two ear infections (in one ear!) He said he still wanted to go and seemed to do well most of the day. About 3:30 he was pretty tired, so we headed to Papa's lake house in Marissa to play with the new puppy, have dinner, and watch the fireworks from the boat. They put on an amazing display for such a small town - we were very impressed - and they were just gorgeous over the lake. We took the boat out again Sunday morning for a quick spin before heading home. Overall, it was a pretty nice weekend.

Emily would have ridden the Merry Go Round 100 times if we had let her! Thank goodness she is tall enough to ride by herself now.

Taking a break for lunch at the Lakeside Cafe.

The kids wanted to ride the train, so we hopped on and went for a nice (but expensive!) ride around the park.

Papa's house - that's DD waiving from the deck!

Rob, the kids and the new puppy Molly. She is a real sweetie, but her little teeth are like razor blades!

Out on the boat with Papa on Sunday morning.
