Zoo visit & SLSO concert in the Park

Thursday, September 17th, 2009


While daddy was hard at work, mommy took Carter to the zoo. I have heard that Carter had a great time and got over his fear of the train in the tunnels. Afterwards, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra gave a beautiful free concert on Art Hill in Forest Park. Carter seemed slightly more amused by the grass, but I think he really enjoyed it. The beautiful night ended with a surprise display of fireworks, which Carter thoroughly enjoyed.

Grant’s Farm

Sunday, August 30th, 2009


Grant’s Farm is another uniquely St. Louis attraction. Named after its first owner, Ulysses S. Grant, the Busch family now owns it. I think the pictures describe it better than I could. Carter seemed to particularly enjoy the parrots and the baby goats. Daddy particularly enjoyed the free beer. I am sure we will be back there many times.

O’Fallon Jammin’ Concert

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009



We went to see the band Plastic at the O’Fallon public concert series. Again, Trish and Jessica joined us. The band had a lead singer change, and was not exactly what we remembered. However, it was still a perfect night and Carter seemed to have a blast, so we all enjoyed the evening together.

Yet Another Zoo Visit

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009


Like all good zoo visits, we first started our day at Bob Evans, where Carter showed off his skills as a busboy. Then, we were off to the zoo. It was an exciting day for many reasons. We joined the zoo, because we enjoy it so much. Carter really started responding to the animals, he seemed to particularly enjoy the zebras and the hippos. He also went on his first train ride. The tunnels were a little scary, but overall he very much enjoyed it. He also wanted to show off that he could drink from a water bottle. Overall, it was a great day. The pictures are up here.

Science Museum Visit

Sunday, August 9th, 2009


Back on August 9th we took Carter to the St. Louis Science Center. It was a very impressive museum, and I think Carter really enjoyed it. See for yourself!

Junior Olympic Sailing Festival

Sunday, July 19th, 2009


The Lake Saint Louis Sailing Club hosted the Midwest Junior Olympic Sailing Festival. It was great to see all the kids out there enjoying sailing. Carter and I went to volunteer, but they didn’t need our help so we ended up just going for a swim… how cool is it that you can watch a regatta from a swimming pool?!? I think we both really enjoyed it, as you can see.

Pirates Ahoy!

Friday, July 17th, 2009


Carter got to experience piracy, Lake Saint Louis style! The kids go out on the lake in small sailboats, kayaks, etc. to plunder and capture the booty! Kathy and Carter had a great time.
