To St. Louis to celebrate the twins 6th birthday!

Alex is always glad to see our doggies.

Meighan immediately showed us her birthday present - American Girl Twin Dolls.  She loves them and takes them everywhere.

Opening presents from Grandpa and Grandma.

Barbie Dolls.

Alex asked for a batman outfit and some Star War Legos.

We headed to Dave and Buster's to celebrate and have fun!!

The food was very good.  Uh-oh no food pictures.

The game area was huge and fun for kids and adults.

Meighan with her winnings.

Having lunch before school.

Friday night we took the kids out for fun at the Drury Inn.  Mom and Dad had a much deserved "date night".

The pool and hot tub - we all had a good time.

We even swam underneath the window to the outside - I didn't think Alex would do it but he did.

My babies are growing up so fast.

Back at the room - Alex changed to his costume.

Our little dare devil.

Meg and I had some primping time and did each others nails.

We hated to leave.  I miss them already.

I made brownies because we are going to have sweet little guests for  the weekend.

Emerson, Aidan and Samara!!!

Making cotton candy -- Grandpa's specialty!!!

Went to dinner at Applebee's.

Emerson spotted this place..."Sweet Frog" - we didn't know about this place.  Emmy had been to one near her house.  We had to check it out for dessert.

It was very crowded, but moved right along.

3 different size cups - you had a lot of choices of soft serve ice cream (yogurt) - lots of flavors.  They were priced by the ounce.

Samara picked out a lot of toppings - everything is self serve and a lot of choices are available.

We were all pretty full.  It was a great weekend.
