We spent the whole day at the City Museum in St. Louis. We first came here years ago and the girls have been wanting to return ever since … Glad we finally made it.

Opposite of the last time we went up the arch, Camille didn’t mind the ride up and Chloe started to panic.
Memorial Day Weekend in Decatur
For the first time in months, I had a weekend that truly felt like a weekend, despite having some catching up at work to do and an online course for my fire class that I needed to take. On Memorial Day weekend, our street gets closed down for the Decatur Arts’ Fest. Not only did

With a later than hoped for start, we hit the road this morning. Twice we encountered closed interstates. But the driving was easy in Illinois!
photo friday: lucayan national park
Back in April when we were in the Bahamas for my sisters’ wedding, we didn’t have much time for exploring as tourists. Last week, I posted photos from the “cave” side” of the Lucayan National Park. Across the street from the park’s parking lot is a lovely nature trail, complete with boardwalks and bridges through

Camille walked over to Baby Kroger this evening to get groceries for making our Friday night pizza. As usual, she picked up a can of olives. Imagine her surprise when she opened the can and saw this??

The sky got all kinds of pretty while I was at my fire academy class this evening!

Last night, we explored the Team USA: Road to London setup on the square. Today at the concert, we got a better look, but it was TOO hot and there were TOO many little kids. Thanks to our central location, we chose to return late in the evening. At 7:30pm, the lines were short, and

On Wednesdays in May, the Blue Sky concerts at noon on the square are a welcome break from work. Camille and I had been to a couple, but today was the first time that Chloe was able to join us. We picked up some food and found a shady spot to listen to the jazz
normal bird behavior?
As Camille and I were walking back from Baby Kroger with our watermelon and corn, we happened across this woman who making some strange gestures. As it turns out, she was pointing out a bird drama going on over our heads. I too stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, mesmerized by the birds overhead.

While out for an evening stroll around the square, look who we spotted!

No Dumping … Labor Pickup … Never seen either of these occur in this spot on Commerce by the Callaway Building, but I’m sure there is some history there …
sneak peek: revolution donuts
Of course, yesterday I posted about my low carb aspirations … and on my calendar today was the super-secret kickstarter pre-opening party at Revolution Donuts. I was NOT going to miss going to a tasting party at a place I had “invested” in. In order to help with my goal, Camille and I walked down

Project 41: June Goals
As I wrote just a few days after my 41st birthday, I have a list of goals for this coming year. Other than the big diet one, I thought that the goals are fairly attainable, especially since they weren’t specific. This was intentional; I wanted to concentrate on the main goal (losing weight) and slowly

Running power up the middle of a street must be quite a logistical challenge!

Not only was today Chloe’s last day of school, but it was also opening day at our pool. The girls enjoyed swimming just down the hall!
photo friday: lucayan national park
Back in April when we were in the Bahamas for my sisters’ wedding, we didn’t have much time for exploring as tourists. Therefore, I was more than ready to jump in the car when my parents suggested a trip out to Lucayan National Park. While Grand Bahama Island is fairly small, the ride out to

I was lucky enough to ride along in this fire truck today … Such an awesome ride!!
moving day!
Not for us, but for the fire house. By a fun coincidence, it was also the day for my “Citizen Fire Academy” ride-along. When I arrived at the station, they were just moving in from their temporary home at the old Roly Poly up the street. Since I had expected to get to ride on
