Adventures in Missouri

We loved every minute we spent with family down in St. Peters, MO. On Thursday we went to this big recreation complex that had, among other things, a gym and an indoor pool. The indoor pool was a good choice as it was strangely chilly outside that day!

Allie took a liking to her cousins Carson and Cole right away. She'd been reunited with them less than an hour earlier, and decided to hold their hands as we all walked in to start our adventures.

First thing's first. We headed to the gym where some of us shot baskets. Mama even shot a few and even made one. Allie enjoyed throwing around a little football we got for the pool, though we didn't actually use in the pool.

She loved just running around. And she looked extra adorable running around in those cute little flip flops that Mama bought especially for this trip. She doesn't keep them on when she's sitting, but she did just fine walking and running in them.

I took quite a few pictures here, but unfortunately most of them came out blurry. There's Dada and cousin Cole in the background of the above last. Dada likes to brag about his basketball skills and I found out he doesn't exaggerate too much... he's actually pretty good.

Then it was time for the pool. It was a bit cramped, especially when we first got in because it was so crowded. But there were a lot of fun activities.

I think any time spent in water is Allie's favorite. We were in the pool for about two and a half hours. We were definitely tired and ready for dinner by the time we got out! We went to dinner at this pizza buffet restaurant where we all stuffed ourselves. Allie got nice and messy, of course. She loves her pizza!
