St Louis 2015 - Day 1

Vacation started with the boys going to a Cubs/Cardinals game. It was by far the most beautiful day we had on vacation.

I'm going to bet that is a hot dog in the boy's mouth.

Pregame photo op.

Not to my surprise Ross did not make it the entire game. Not going to say I told you so, but... 
I got him from the game when McKenna and Ms. Danielle arrived and we went to Grant's Farm.

It was so much fun! We rode a tram to the back side of the farm and there was so much to do! First off the kids rode the carousel, but no pics of that.

Next, they got to feed the baby goats. 

Ross and McKenna seemed to really enjoy it.

He mastered the art of feeding two at a time. He will make a good daddy one day. 

Aves enjoyed it as long as she was on the other side of the fence.

Boss also did a little grooming to the goats. They liked getting brushed.

Up next was some pony riding. Avery was Over.The.Moon! 

Camel rides too!

Snow cones were last. M got a strawberry that dyed her mouth blood red.

After that we went swimming. No pics but when I asked Ross what his favorite part of day 1 was he said swimming! By the time we got to bed everyone was mega exhausted. It was a good day!

Swimming Lessons

The kids started swim lessons up again this year. Both LOVE it and no tears shed this year.

After their first lesson, and despite the look they had fun.

A few videos. Ross has come a long way from last year and even from his first lesson this year to where his level is currently. It's been so great to watch his progression. Avery still likes to sit on the step.
