St. Louis #2

On the second day, we decided to go to the City Museum due to the chance of rain for the day.  Yes, they did get a bunch of rain that day.  Kind of wish I could have bottled it all up and brought it up here. :)
This place is a little overwhelming, but we all still had a great time.  Kate wasn't quite old enough to enjoy it very much, but there were plenty of things she could do also.  Everyone agreed that the rooftop was their favorite.  I think that was due to the fact that it was more spread out and not as claustrophobic. :)
Kurtis & the older three really liked the giant slide!


You do have to watch out for the bump at the bottom.  I heard a lot of groans from people as I waited at the bottom. :)


This was as close as Kate would come to the slide.  There was much more for her to explore while the others were having fun.
Waiting patiently in line :)

The view of St. Louis from the rooftop.

Getting ready to go down the long slide - see pics below

Jaren going down...below they are climbing back up overtop the slide



This was Kate's favorite part of the City Museum.  She was drenched.  Thankfully I had extra clothes just in case so we were able to change her before we went to explore the inside.

Enjoying the rooftop ferris wheel.  Kurtis & Erica also rode on it.


Climbing the roof


These were fun tops for you to ride in.

It's hard to see, but Kurtis & Bethany are almost to the very top.

Climbing through the caves inside.

They had a children's area for kids 6 and under.  Erica was a good sport and rode the train with Kate.


They also have a cool craft area where you can make almost anything.  Here the kids are having fun with clay.  They were bummed when we wouldn't let the take their creations home.
