Wednesday we met up with some friends that relocated to St. Louis in the past year from Cub Scouts (big boys) & MOMS Club playgroup (little boy). The kids had an AWESOME time running around with their friends -- I just wish our schedules would have worked out better so we could have seen them more & taken them up on their offer of hospitality! The kids played at The Magic House and really enjoyed getting to see their three friends & play with all the exhibits. We then took them across the street to Subway for lunch -- our thought was that it would be easy. And we thought taking six kid into a busy Subway was going to be easy???? LOL! I was about to break down into tears with the sub guys yelling at me, "Whaddya want?" while the kids whined about wanting pop and chips and cookies and.... LOL! Just too funny, but one of the reasons that I absolutely ADORE Friend Lisa because she sorta has the same "oh well" parenting style and just rolls with everything! We had a few minutes to catch up & I'm so glad to say that she is sooo happy to be in an area that she feels is "home"!
The fun for the evening was that we met up with a friend of The Man's from his client, "Mr. Mike". We went to a place named "Hodak's" which is known for it's fried chicken and then did a "St. Louis institution" by visiting "Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard" for dessert. Many of you know that we try to keep a somewhat reasonable sugar dosage for the Spawn, but if anyone wants to count, at dinner there was pop.... then they had big ole things of ice cream.... then Mr. Mike gave them a goodie bag which contained toys & candy that they started gulping down. (I told The Man that I wasn't sure how much Mr. Mike REALLY liked him....) Needless to say, Wee One was bopping around the hotel room until close to 11 pm. Oh well - that's what vacation is all about, right?
