Weekend Review~

Well its Sunday afternoon and its been a great weekend so far! Today we are just relaxing and recovering from the driving and food and fun. Ive gotten through all my photos and will post some of my fav for ya'll. These first few photos were taken at St.Louis County Lone Elk Park and World Bird Sanctuary!

Hunter looking at me via an American Bald Eagle!

Justice at the aviary.

Todd and Dad chattin' it up while grilling at the park.

Hunter and Justice getting ready for lunch!

Preston and Rachel..I think they like each other! ;)

Todd at Lone Elk Park!

On the way home we stopped at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery where Todds Dad is buried. We drove around and looked all the grounds and the part of the grounds that overlook the Missouri River.

Statues and markers for the Unknown Soldiers.. sad.

We came home and had some strawberries and cake and then drove down to the Arch to watch the fireworks. I could not for the life of me get a good picture of the Arch/bridges and fireworks... but did capture a couple of the kids! I do have to say it was the worst display St.Louis had ever had. I felt sorry for building it up to Dad and Rachel. What a let down. The upside, we were all together and then went to dinner afterwards and had a great time!

Preston, Rachel, Hunter {his fingers in his ears almost the entire weekend-he HATES loud noises!} and Justice.

Yesterday Preston and Rachel headed back home, but Dad stayed behind and we got to take him on a little road trip up to Carlyle Lake and down to Nashville and Washington County Wildlife Area. {where Todd hunts every year and where we camped earlier this year}

The lake at Washington County.

Some of the black-eyed-Susan's we saw tons of them throughout our drive.

Now for one last tidbit of news... I was chosen to be Guest Designer at Creative Scrappers for July 2009 reveal!!!!! I am so excited and proud! Here is the layout that I did for the reveal.
