Its been a great July. Random pictures from this month of little things that we have done that just haven't gotten posted yet. The 4th of July Birthday party of a classmate playing on the tire swing during the party Fun day at the Beachy's on their giant water slide. and then hot dogs and watermelon after... At the farmer's market. One of my favorite things to do is to give Charlie $5 and a bag and let her pick out what she wants. She always loads up on the strawberries and blueberries. We baked Amish Friendship bread from Margie. It was delicious At Time for Dinner with Nana, making some meals. The MO Botanical Gardens. I loved how we were amongst some of the most amazing plants in the world... and Charlotte was all about the plastic toy veggies. Eliot and Charlotte conquering the hay bails

This is not a picture of Charlotte in pain, but rather of rejoicing (although it is hard to tell the difference sometimes). St. Louis opened the Citygarden a couple of weeks ago and it is quite frankly amazing. We headed with some friends downtown on Market/ 8th Ave to check it out. The sign says: "You won't find walls or fences, admissions fees or do not touch signs, because at Citygarden you are always free. Free to explore. Free to play. Free to feel inspired." So we explored... we played... and we were inspired. This one however, kind of freaked her out and she didn't want to get close. So we were inspired from a distance.... The water features were brilliant. We jumped right in. Charlie and Reagan laughing it up. Part of the mission of the park is to be "local", so of course we had to help support the local economy by buying the locally made strawberry ice cream. Yummy.
