attempt

This was our attempt at a group shot yesterday. No one's arms were long enough--sorry Andrew. It was also our "attempt" at a fun day at the zoo. Apparently most of St. Louis had the same idea. We had a picnic on art hill and then headed into the madness. I know some of you know what I mean that there is usually a direct correlation between the amount of effort put forth in sacrificing to make a fun day for your kids and the amount of tears shed when nothing goes just as planned. It never fails. Just like when you go to get in your car in a parking lot and the person next to you is always getting in their car ----what are the chances??? It never fails. So anyway, it was ridiculously crowded and made us realize that we would all probably had more fun throwing a ball in the backyard. Note to self: Stay at home during spring break or actually go on a vacation! At least we were together and the sun was shining!
