Another Trip to St. Louis

Julianne and I had the opportunity to go to St. Louis again this past week. We stayed for about five days and had lots of fun with family and friends. On Monday we went to Bangert Pool and swam a bit and on Tuesday we got to go to the St. Louis Zoo, which was so much fun. We saw a Sea Lion show and saw lots of other animals. Julianne kept talking about the "ellas" (elephants) and on the way to see them she fell asleep. We took pictures though so she could see them when she woke up. On Wednesday Julianne and I took a road trip with my uncle, aunt, and grandma to see my cousin, Peter, in Columbia, Mo where he is a volunteer fire fighter. He gave us a great tour of the fire house and Julianne loved "riding" in the fire trucks. Really she just sat in them, but that was good enough for her. My aunt and uncle got her a toy fire truck and every time she plays with it she says "Pee-pee bye-bye in fy-tuh"(Peter went bye bye in the fire truck). Here are some pictures of our adventures.

Jackson loved to spash in the pool and Julianne loved watching him

Isn't a puddle more fun than the pool?

Julianne enjoyed jumping in with the help of "Mull-Mull" (Great Grandma Muhleman) and "Mimi"(Grandma Bryant)

"You would not believe what this penguin just told me!"

Riding on the carousel with Mimi and the Gorilla - she looked less than thrilled but really had a good time

"Come just a little closer duckie" - the ducks actually let us get close enough to touch them

Wearing Peter's heavy helmet - after I took this picture Julianne almost fell over from the weight of the helmet and would have no more of pictures with the helmet on
