On Tuesday, we said good-bye to Grandpa who had to fly to D.C. and tries to get the boys outside before the heat overwhelmed us. St. Peters has a great City Centre. In fact, David and I had our wedding reception there. We started on the playground, but were only there for a few minutes before the boys decided they would rather explore the paths and the streams. They climbed down the bank to get a better look, much to David's chagrin as some small children tried to follow them. Then it was off to see the lake and the fountains. About this time, I thought it might be good to occupy with something constructive so we took another try at geocaching and this time found the capsule. We decided it was time to leave soon after when the sprinklers came on and the boys went right at them.
We stopped for lunch and a quick trip to the bookstore on the way home and took the long way so we could see a few of the changes in St. Peters, including a new high school and a new library. In the afternoon, my dear friend L and her kids came to visit. I was excited to meet little 8 week old W who makes Mr. 0 look like a giant. Mr. 3 had a grand time with B, her 3 year old. They were so fun together, racing each other, playing together, and having the best conversations. Is there anything better than a conversation between two 3 year olds? It was so nice to see them and we appreciated being able to host them at Grandma and Grandpa's house. After being in the car so much, having time to just sit and chat while the kids play was the perfect way to enjoy the afternoon.
