July was such a fun month, as we were blessed to have lots of visitors! Nile's parents came and stayed with us and the kids' highlight was taking Nana and Papa to Grant's Farm. It was HOT (of course), but a super fun day. Gabe did much better this year with the goats (his time with them last year may rank as one of my all-time funniest moments!) and he also was chosen to be an elephant helper (shown in the video at the bottom of the post), much to his dismay, lol. None of my kids EVER want to be chosen in these situations, just like me on that front, but the lady approached him as we were walking in and he couldn't say no (sadly, this is also just like me). He was such a good sport:) Thanks for coming to see us. We had a great time!
Thankful for the handwashing stations, and it is rare that she lets me try a braid:)
Papa cleaning off the goat droppings...that is above and beyond, in my book! What a great grandpa!

My dear friend, Lora, and her daughter Naomi came to St. Louis to have a little vacation (it is a great place to do that, so come see us!) in July. We had so much fun with them! We all went to the zoo together and then Josie and I went to City Museum with them, as well. Since I posted more of these on FB, I only chose some favorites for here. Thanks for visiting us, guys! We miss you!

If you look closely, you can see Jos and Naomi underneath the walking people
City Museum is a great place to get some exercise and work up a sweat! And have a blast while doing so.
