St. Louis, Part 3

The kids got themselves a gig at the Bar Mitzvah.

The familia. Late in the day, ties loosened a bit.

Talia busts a move.

The "reception" was at a game center called Demolition Ball. Daisy plays air hockey. You can't see it here but she's rocking quite the outfit:


Johnny

Buster

This just never happens, but it seems that Daisy is perched on someone's lap! It's Aunt Caryl, with Amy next to them, at the Cardinals game.

Daisy rides the airport shuttle with part of her entourage.

St. Louis-Evansville trip, Part 1

We resume our story with our trip to the Midwest. I'll try to catch up some of the meantime pictures, but who knows.


In Evansville, chasing bubbles with Amy D.

At the park. Gotcha!

Self-portrait. One of about 20 in a row, which happens whenever Daisy has my phone.

Picnic with Grandma Ann.

Giant swing at SIU Edwardsville on the way to St. Louis, visiting Uncle Matt.

At Jack's Bar Mitzvah. I took this picture because I thought it was funny. They're posing for an official photo, with Rachael fast asleep. She's going to get even for this someday. Also because it's the only picture I took of Jack. The baby is Eowyn, Rachael's baby sister. They are Bruce and Barbara's grandkids. Mom and dad Valerie and Rob not shown, but Amy and Talia are.

All dressed up and princessed out.

Heading home

After a week of sharing a bed with Daisy, Buster had had enough.

On the plane. Daisy's got the whole crew.

Buster's art work for the captain. He delivered it at the end of the flight.

Friday dinner

Please help me, help my Raggedy Ann doll, and keep an eye on my cousin Amy, who I think might try to steal Snorky.

Cars.

A day in St. Boogie

We start with a little air hockey.


Then to Tower Grove Park.


This is a really fun spinny thing. Not pictured: Post-spin upchuck. Fun!

Rare photograph of Buster and Daisy playing together.


Lunch at the Royale.


And then on to the ridiculously awesome Citygarden sculpture park in downtown St. Louis.


Art appreciation. Heh-heh. Heh.

Big brother appreciation.

Big ol' Pinocchio.

Who gets a punch in the nuts from Buster. Now here's some random Daisy cuteness.


And an antidote.


Big Arch, little girl.

Right under it.

Hanging out with the Ryan boys.

Back home. Big smiles from Daisy and Taylor.

Magic House

Daisy and her new piggy, whose name is Snorky, get ready for the day. All stuffed animals lately are named Snorky, at least at first.

I gave a book about "The Simpsons" to Jon, but A.J. decided dad didn't need to be the first to read it. No pictures or anything, but A.J. spent the whole day riveted by it.

Curious George in the house. The Magic House.

Fishing.


Fixing a tire.

'Sup, George.

This is the beginning of a very strange little interlude, when A.J. and Curious George, um, got into a fight.



Take it from me, George. You aren't winning this one.

Meanwhile, Daisy's climbing the walls looking for a way out.

She's got no beef with George.
