BEST DAY EVER!

Did anyone get that my title was a reference to Tangled?

Yeah, so we have seen that movie just a few times but actually it's one I really like a lot, so I don't mind.

Anyway, the kids proclaimed  last Wednesday as the "best day ever" and Wyatt actually said
it was the best day of his life. Love that boy.

Where could we have gone that would elicit such a response you ask? Disney World?

Nope, the St. Louis City Museum...which I honestly think might just be one of the coolest places

 I have ever been, too. Like for real. 

 The St. Louis City Museum is housed in a huge, old shoe factory and consists mostly of 

re-purposed architectural and industrial objects, the building is just amazing.

The outside...

We were at the museum from 10:00-4:00 and took about a half hour break for lunch. If the kids had not been so exhausted we could have left for supper and then came back afterwards, that's how
 much there was still left to see/ do there.

Old-school shoelace factory inside the museum.

Oh man, I really wanted my fortune read but I didn't have any change....next time!

check out that ceiling... so cool!

Hundreds of tunnels, a ten-story slide, and a bunch of other slides too, caves and aquariums and holes literally in the floor that lead you somewhere different every time you go through one,
 seriously a kid's dream.

Oh- and check out this area that was like an indoor skate park, ramps of all sizes the kids could
 just run up and slide down. If only I had one of these in my backyard...oh, the energy that
would be burned off.

The Ewok Village, or at least that's what we called it.
Indoor tree-houses to climb and more tunnels, slides, things to climb up and down and all over.

Yep, BEST DAY EVER.
Oh wait--I just remembered that was the same night that someone pulled the fire alarm,
not once, but twice at our hotel. And we were on the 9th floor.
And the second one was just as we had all fallen asleep. I couldn't find my shoes and Charlotte woke up crying and I had to carry her down all those stairs. I threatened my kids if they ever in their life
pull a fire alarm as a prank I would come hunt them down and they would be sorry.
I don't care if they are in college.
So yeah, besides that... best day ever.

happy friday!!!!!
