Chris took a major actuarial exam last Thursday and we decided that to celebrate having a break from studying for a while and getting through yet another exam (we won't know if he passed for another few months but just having it over this time is something to celebrate) we needed to head out of town. So it was a great trip and I am too exhausted to recap all the details so here are the highlights!
1. Sam did great for the 8 hour drive down to St. Louis.
2. Bailey and Parker holding their cousin for the first time; SO CUTE!
3. Oberwies Chocolate shakes (if you are from St. Louis, or anywhere that has Oberwies, you MUST try one!)
4. A profitable yard sale (I made $4 as a tip from my family for helping them to sell all of their crap!)
5. Uncle Chris's first surprise party EVER. He was showered in blue for Grayson.
6. MY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY! I was given the most beautiful aquamarine (Sam's birth stone) stud earrings. THANK YOU CHRIS.
7. Sam was again great in the car on the way to Bloomington.
8. Mother's Day dinner at Destihl in Bloomington (if you are in the are the Strawberry Blond Ale is a must try).
9. Baby shopping with Kathy.
10. Seeing Sam hold on to her pacifier and wave it around for the first time and having her grandparents be there to see it too.
11. Kathy letting Chris and I sleep in this morning by taking Sam.
12. Sam doing great in the car again on our way home.
Okay, I think that is the best of the six day trip. We were so busy in St. Louis with all the activities and chasing after the most active two toddlers I have seen that we never got the camera out of the bag. But we did take a few photos in Bloomington, so enjoy.
