Summer Vaca ’09 – Day 13

Today is a day in St. Louis with Tim’s family and our good friend (best man from our wedding), Aaron. We were disappointed that Aaron’s wife, Julie, could not join us, but his buddy Chris was good to see.

We met up with Tim’s younger sister, Abby, at Incredible Pizza for lunch. We got there at just the right time; Tim and I were able to get a free round of miniature golf free with our lunch. The next stop that we made was the Seminary. We picked up a couple of books there. They have these really good Bible story books for the kids. They’re called Arch books, and the stories are told through a rhyming story.

We checked in at our hotel, which was the Drury Inn - Convention Center in downtown St. Louis. After a quick walk along the Landing, we ate supper before the ballgame. (Food inside Busch Stadium is VERY expensive.) I HAD LION’S CHOICE! Yummy!







Time for baseball, yo! It was a great game! Just as Albert Pujols was going up to bat, I said to Tim that it’s been a while since we’ve seen him hit a home run in person. I must have said the magic words because he hit one! Then, he hit another one at his next at-bat!

Aunt Joan was at the game. We connected via cell phone. (Where would we be without cell phones???) She came to see us at our seats. It was great to see her again after Jeanna’s wedding. She and I didn’t have a chance to visit there, but we had such a nice visit at the game.

We entered on the other side of the stadium, so I didn't get this picture in the daylight like I had hoped.

Aunt Rachel and Isaiah



We could still see the fancy grass from the All Star Game.

Aunt Joan!

Aunt Joan is my mom's younger sister.

Aunt Rachel and Mallory - I love Mallory's face here. She was squealing happy noises!

Isaiah and Daddy

Mallory loves Aaron!

Booper fell asleep!

Rachel's husband, Terry, navigated Isaiah through the crowd after the game.
