Fun in the STL...

We headed to the STL to spend time with our great friends.  It is always good with my soul when we get to spend time catching up (or rather picking up where we left off) with the Boyles.

Friday was spent in Forest Park - having a nice lunch and then taking in the paddle boats.  The men went with Sullivan and Lila, making up Team Tiny.  Ab and I went with the older kids, dubbed Team Old Slowies (by Sullivan and Lila).

Apparently we were in a race that we didn't know about.  We preferred to take a more laid back approach.  We stopped to smell the roses....

In the end, Team Tiny won the "race."

Saturday we headed downtown, where 3/4 of us went up in the arch.  Ab and I decided to take in the new museum at the base of the arch, while all the others experienced the ride up.

Quite the sights from up above... what a pretty city.

The flooding on the Mississippi is something else though.... the river is at least 14 feet above the flood stage right now, and expected to be even higher in the next few days.  Sad.

The adults also had an incredible dinner out, but sadly didn't capture any pictures to prove it.  I might have had my all time best meal that night - an egg raviolo.  Incredible.

Speaking of incredible, Abatha was so, so sweet to make me a surprise birthday cake to celebrate the upcoming BIG birthday!

The weekend was the best - as it always is with the Boyles.  So great to see them, so sad to leave.

Thanks for the great weekend, Boyles.  Already looking forward to the next time!
