About a week and a half ago the three of us took a little mini-vacation to St. Louis. We've lived in Missouri for over a year and haven't been there to visit yet. One of our main purposes was to go to a Cardinals game for Steve's birthday (yah right, you don't like your birthday, Steve!).We had a great time seeing the sights and just being in civilization. I didn't even mind being stuck in traffic! We did lots of eating at great places, a little shopping (a couple Cardinals onsies for the new baby), visited the temple, visited the famous St. Louis Zoo, and Steve's all time favorite was the Cardinals game on Friday night(it was his big birthday present). We took the metro from our hotel to the game and Sarah loved riding on the train...she kept saying "choo choo" the whole time. The Cardinals played the Cincinati Reds and we even saw Ken Griffey, Jr. strike out. The Cards won 8 to 4 with a Rick Ankiel's grand slam in the 6th inning. One of Steve's favorite stories of the game was when I was screaming my little heart out for the Reds as they scored an in the park home run. I couldn't tell who was on what team--they both wear red. What can I say?....I never was the most sport savvy! Sarah loved the game as long as she had a different treat every inning...popcorn, hot dogs, root beer, fruit snacks, etc. We had a great time and can't wait to go to more games. St. Louis is a great city and we had a wonderful time having a break there.
Steve and Sarah on the carousel at the St. Louis Zoo. We were there just after the zoo opened, so we got to go on the carousel for free for the first hour! Sarah was in heaven...she thought we were at Disneyland and kept asking to go on Small World. She was a little hurt when she finally understood that we couldn't go on Small World, but all the cool animals made up for it.
More pictures of Steve and Sarah at the zoo.
The Saint Louis Temple. It's just off a major freeway and it's gorgeous. 
Steve and Sarah outside the brand new Busch Stadium....also, the arch in the background. The Cardinals fans are crazy and very devoted. None of us had on red and we felt very out of place....at least we know for next time!
This is Ankiel's grand slam...it was AWESOME!!

Happy Birthday Steve!
Sarah is so cute in that video! She is a little smarty pants, isn't she? Your trip looks like so much fun ... I love live sporting events! Tons of fun to watch no matter who wins, so I love that you cheered for both teams!
Kasey--I like to cheer for both teams, too, if you know what I mean. Ha! Yeah for Steve's b-day. Happy day to Steve: welcome to 28. It's a great year. I called and left a message on his cell phone, singing my best b-day song ever. I hope he got it. If not, tell him happy b-day for me. St. Louis looks fun and you look all cute and prego! The countdown is on. Good luck getting everything ready, sista.....
Kasey--Have you gone into labor? Has someone kidnapped you? Or, do you have caller ID and are avoiding my phone calls? If so, then you can't get rid of me that easily: I can still stalk you via blog (you should have never given me your blog website). Anyway, I have two favors to BEG of you, you poor pregnant lady you. 1. Will you PLEASE send all and any transitional clothes you are willing to part with for a few months? I am busting out of my pants. 2. Will you please post a picture of the baby's new blankets? I want to see. 3. (I know I only said 2 but I decided I have one more) Will you please call me? I like talking to you. You are my favorite sister-in-law named Kasey. I promise I won't talk as much as I usually do. I'll even let you say a few things. Okay. There. I've said my piece and now I gotta jet. See you next time!
