Stop #2, The Lou

We drove to St. Louis for our second leg of the Midwestern Adventure.  (After a stop in Columbia to see my dear friend, Stephanie, for some girl time.)  We took the boys to the Magic House in Kirkwood for one of our favorite stops.  This place is amazing!

BFFs.  Love her!

The Magic House

Sean had fond memories of going to the Magic House as a child, so he was pretty excited to take our boys for the first time. The museum did not disappoint. It was at least double the size of our local Children's Museum and had so many cool exhibits. We felt like we only scratched the surface when we finally left. It was a great day!

We just got lucky and happened to visit while the "Bob the Builder" exhibit was in town.

Each alphabet letter lifted up to reveal an object that started with that letter. Carter would have been happy to stay at this stop all day.

Foam pit for the little guys

Gears, gears and more gears!

This was the coolest water table I have ever seen.

Carter working the Pizza Parlour. Davis was kind of upset to find that the pizza was plastic. That's when we decided it was time for lunch.

Those balls are just out of reach...

and it's making me angry!

Grandma & Grandpa got us these cool hard hats!

Fixing the car with Daddy. Just like at home!

Can I offer you a ride?

Too pooped to party.
