Hotel Living

When we first arrived in St Louis we had to stay in a hotel for a pretty long time while closing on the house. A month and half, to be precise. That was after 2 weeks in a Hawaii hotel, and then a month... 2 months?... at Michael's parent's house. Needless to say, we were definitely ready to get into our new house and stop living out of suitcases.

We kept Conner distracted with toys and games, and lots of trips to the pool and lobby. Here he is playing with his new ball popper.

When living in a hotel you run out of things to do pretty quickly and you will do anything to keep yourself occupied. I decided to try on all my clothes and sort through what was too big and too small. Imagine my shock to find that I could fit into my wedding dress again!

Another thing we did to keep busy was take a trip to Grant's Farm. That's where the Anheiser Busch Clydesdales are kept, along with assorted other animals. It was kinda like a zoo. With free beer. Conner got to see his first animals besides a dog, and he was fascinated.

Here you are, riding your very. Own. Brand. New. CAMEL! (Watch out, they spit). Hee hee.

And here's the Busch mansion. It was huuuuge. Of course we tourists weren't allowed anywhere near it.
