Step in time


The great thing about St. Louis is that it seems to have a lot of free activities throughout the year. We are cheap, we love free! The Muny is just one of those things that I like to do every year. Just once and just in the free seats. I am not much of a theater person (especially if I’ve already seen the movie.) I just tend to leave the theater saying “yeah, it was okay but the movie was better.” But I do love the experience.

This year’s experience was great. Great friends, great weather, great food. I will say that the show itself is not what I would classify as “great.”
I was looking forward to seeing Mary Poppins at the Muny all summer. Little did I know it would be changed so much from the original story line. The actors did a great job, but I just was not a fan of all the added songs and a drastic change to the story.
We had a fun time, even with the multiple trips to the bathroom with the boys.

Let it sno!


On Sunday night, we decided to finally get around to walking over to the S&J sno cone location that is by our house.

When we got over there, it was closed 🙁 I have no idea why. So we walked back to the Lovings, welcomed Maggi and Mayci home from their trip, and then loaded the kids up to go to the Imperial location. S&J seriously has the BEST sno-cones I’ve ever had. I am usually not a fan. But they know how to do it. And I think many people agree. The line didn’t die down the entire time we were there. The creamy Wedding Cake is the best flavor on the menu. I say that with confidence even though I don’t know if I’ve ever tried anything else. It’s that good! I don’t want to try anything else! Don ALWAYS goes for grape flavored stuff. He got Grape Suicide. But after trying Kingston’s Ninja flavor, he decided to trade with him. Looks like he has a new favorite. Liam got Cotton Candy and Kai got Spider-Man. Evangeline slept through it all. She seems to do that quite often.
Walking home after we realized it was closed 🙁
