Pinewood Derby

The good news is Sam didn't take last place. The bad news is...he probably took second last place this year. However, he has now won a style trophy two years in a row. The time, "Most Dangerous Design".

Easter

St. Louis Trip

We spent a few days of spring break in St. Louis. It was a great place to visit and we had lots of fun!

First stop, the totally cool City Museum. It wasn't really a museum, but more of  a huge indoor and outdoor playground for all ages. Everything is made from recycled materials by artists. We spent all of our first day there and I am not sure we saw everything. They even had a ten-story spiral slide!

 

The caves went on forever. They were filled with tons of dark tunnels and slides. Good thing we brought a flashlight!

The boys climbed to the top of an outdoor structure.

The Magic House was the local Children's Museum. We all had fun playing make believe!

Max changing a muffler.

The boys hamming it up in a mock St. Louis Rams locker room.

I thought Becky's hair would go higher on the electricity ball.

Order in the court!

 Gateway Arch

This is the 4-5 person tram that we rode to the top of the Arch.

Us at the top. It was windy that day and you could feel the Arch swaying.

Mississippi River Boat Cruise

 St. Louis Zoo

 Sculpture Park

Look close...the boys are the eyeballs.

We stopped in Springfield, IL on the way home and visited Lincoln's tomb.

The boys rubbed his nose for good luck.

Funset Boulevard

We took the boys to Funset Boulevard in Appleton where we spent the afternoon with friends. The kids had fun on bumper cars, a merry-go-round, laser tag, a train and a fairly large indoor playground with tons to climb on.

Blue Harbor

Our trip to Blue Harbor and the waterpark with family. Sam and Mark tried the new FlowRider surf ride. We ended up riding it most of the day and were sore for the next couple days after. But it was tons of fun. Max did the big water slides for the first time and once he started, we couldn't get him to stop. The boys enjoyed spending time with their cousins.
