First Trip to Botanical Garden

This month's Relief Society Meeting was at the St Louis Botanical Garden, where the kids and I visited this morning for the first time.

I cannot believe this photo is actually one that I took. We got to stand by a real live banana tree.
Kyle's checking to make sure that Rex doesn't see us.

This spot would have been great to stay and get more photos at, but we had to keep moving! We had a couple of soccer games to get to!

Photogenic dude. This smile reminds me of picture day at school. I ask him what they said to get him to smile and he told me, "Give us your best smile!" and showed me a smile, something like this.

Kyle is into a "spikey hair" look these days.

I wish we could have stayed longer! It is free to go on Saturday mornings, so we will definitely have to do this again when soccer season is over.

A Short, Forgiveable Farewell

I remember...

Without fail,
In rain,or Shine,Cami's pigtails brightened anyone's day...

I remember when her hair was just getting long enough to play with.Irresistible loops!Kyle loves her so much, too. I'm guessing he must love her pigtails so much that...

He could just keep them, in her helmet, hidden, under a blanket in her room. They will be missed!

(Jared found Kyle in the act, and told me to grab the camera. I didn't get a picture in time for the action; Kyle was otherwise occupied by the wall in a time out. He is grounded from scissors, and for the rest of that afternoon he, "didn't get to do anything fun!" It is a good thing that Kyle is so easily lovable and has a pair of irresistable, fluffy, kissable cheeks!)
