playing hooky

                                             
I think I like the kids skipping school more then they like it.  I told them that we could skip one day of school in May and have a lot of fun.  So we started off the day at the zoo.  There was a brand new(10 days) baby elephant that we really wanted to see.   SUPER CUTE!!!!!
 
After we were done at the zoo, seeing all of our favorite animals, we went over to Hermann park and rented a paddle boat. The kids loved this.  We saw a lot of turtles and fish and one really cool big blue fish.



After the paddle boat ride, we ate lunch at Hermann park and the took the train over to The  Museum of Natural Science. 
It was fun, but more for big kids, Sawyer was not really enjoying it, that is until we came to the seashell exhibit.  He thought it was so cool and never wanted to leave the area.  WE also paid a lot extra to go to a magic show.  I assumed, since we were paying more to go to it, that it was going to be amazing.  it was not amazing at all.  Seriously, even Julia and Sawyer could see his tricks.  Lame-o Lame-o!!  

We did, however, get to look for fossils and such at this area.  The guy was a little grouchy about how "careless" Sawyer was being with the tools, but Ryan and Julia loved the attention that he was giving to their "skills".

After the museum, we went to the Miller Outdoor Theater to roll down the hills.  I never get the fun in rolling in grass, but the kids sure enjoyed it.  We had a great day, and it is days like this one, that I am reminded how LUCKY I am the Dennis goes to work each day, so I can stay home and be a mom and play with the kids!!!
