instagram: driving the truck
The girls came with me to the fire station for graduation tonight (though I missed it because of their doctor’s appointments ….) They enjoyed the party food, the tour of the station, and the rest. Chloe, however, got a big kick out of getting to climb into driver’s seat of the fire truck.

Camille brought along some drawing to work on while we were out to dinner.
instagram: west ponce
The girls and I ran a series of errands on West Ponce. For some strange reason, I kept calling it East Ponce. I have absolutely no idea whyโฆ.

I found these guys to have been quite pleased by the earlier rainstorm as I walked over to the fire station this evening.

Gazoo and I enjoyed a quiet afternoon at home. She seemed content to sit on top of me.
instagram: poolside lunch
Between going on our trip and then working to get caught up form the trip, it had been almost two weeks since we had a meal by the pool! I’m hoping that we’ll manage to fit more lunches and dinner poolside in the coming months.
instagram: stickeriti
Everyday, we see more and more stickers plastered around town. Often interesting, but still find then to be in the category of graffiti.
instagram: custom shoes
Chloe was so excited to see that the package that came today was her custom designed Chuck Taylor sneakers. She spent her own money on these special shoes — but they are a little too big right now, so she’s hoping her feet will grow quickly this summer.

On the way home from St. Louis, we made a slight detour to see the “Man of Steel” in his hometown. Thing is, he’s made of bronze.

After our afternoon at the St. Louis Zoo, we were quite hungry. A meal from this Indian restaurant certainly hit the spot.
instagram: city museum
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.
instagram: gateway arch
Opposite of the last time we went up the arch, Camille didn’t mind the ride up and Chloe started to panic.
instagram: on the road
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
instagram: olives
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??
instagram: evening sky
The sky got all kinds of pretty while I was at my fire academy class this evening!
instagram: champions
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
instagram: jazzy lunch
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

While out for an evening stroll around the square, look who we spotted!
instagram: mixed messages
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 …
