Catching Up Once Again

Okay, fair warning; this will be a long post, and it will have lots of pictures.
So, the first reason I haven't posted in a hundred years is that I got sick. I've been well for a week and a half now, so the second reason I haven't posted is last week we had some friends stay with us for three days. It was way fun to have them, and we stayed busy busy busy!! So I spent the next few days recovering, lol! We went to the zoo, the St. Louis Mills Mall, a park....tons of things! They wanted the whole St. Louis experience, and they wanted it in three days!! Needless to say, we did our best, but they are coming for a second visit in July. ;)
Okay, so that wasn't that long of a post after all. On to the pics!!
Okay, these first few are from the first day at the park. It was St. Patrick's day, and we spent 2 hours trying to get to the Zoo, and gave up. There was some sort of race, and all the streets around the Zoo were closed off. But we found this really cool park by total accident!
This is Tiffany. She's gorgeous. This is our new ride! Yeah, baby!

Erik of course found the dinosaur almost immediately. He loooooves dinosaurs!

This teeter totter thing was a ton of fun. I'm afraid Tiffany and I hogged it quite a bit. When we got off, a stampede of little kids took it over.

Now we're at the Zoo the next day. It took us about 30 minutes to get there! Here's Erik totally enthralled with the monkeys.
Me and Erik. He hated having his picture taken!
Me doing the mommy thing. Wasn't my outfit cute? John didn't like it.
Me and Tiff.

Here's the one and only pic I got of Nancy. Here she is with her sister, Tiffany.

Here's Tiffany's daughter, Haley. She's adorable!
Haley and Erik. It was not a real great day for pictures.

Here's the only real good shot I got of the next day at the mall. They're such cutie pies.

I love how Erik's scratching his thigh in that one pic! :) Good times!

Karen said...

Speaking of gorgeous.... you look awesome!

lizS said...

yeah mary, i thought that pic was the best to illustrate how terribly difficult it was to take those two kids pictures that day. haley screaming, erik scratching up his pants...it was awesome.
and thanks karen!! i've been working really hard on my skin care routine lately. nice to know it's paying off!

I like the outfit as well. How far is John outvoted now? I don't think there are a whole lot of pics were you do not look beautiful Liz!

It looked like fun at the zoo! I can usually get pics of my kids through threatening and badgering them into looking happy ;)

Looks like you had tons of fun! And you are looking totally foxy! (I especially love the sunglasses!)
