Cedric's 7th Birthday

For Cedric's 7th birthday we decided to take him and Tristan to St. Louis to the zoo for the day. Well, we got a late start, partly due to the crackheads that are stealing our house (and yes, they are really stealing it) showed up and ruined my morning. More on that later. anyway, by the time we got to St. louis people were streaming out of the zoo because apparently it closes at 5pm!!! weird. Anyway, we ran through and saw a hyena and some fish and a cheetah. yay. We felt horrible so I remembered that Laura and Renee had both recently posted something about the city museum on their blogs and it looked really cool. So we went. It was freaking awesome. One of the coolest places I've been. Cedric and Tristan had a blast!! We stayed until about 8or 9pm. But, if we had stayed they tun the lights out at 11pm and let you use flashlights to go through this place!!! I can't even imagine! We could have spent longer there but this was supposed to be a day trip. When we left we went to the Ameristar Casino on the way out of St. Louis to eat. The kids loved the buffet!!!
Crap my pictures loaded backwards. The ones at the bottom are of our short zoo excursion and then the rest are City Museum. It was a great birthday. The next day we went to the wow park in Carthage and had a small party with cake and ice cream and presents and the whole thing.
