Day one, Wednesday: spent the day driving to Indy. We stopped in Kingdom City, MO to play at McDonald's. That's an outdoor playplace that I am going to keep in my memory banks. We ate in the car driving through STL. I wasn't interested in stopping too many times and decided to sacrfice a clean car for a shorter trip. We pulled into Inday around 6pm, just as Tommy was landing in his airplane. We met at the hotel and got ready for fun!
Day two, Thursday: Happy Birthday Lyla! We spent the day with my old roommate, Amy and her two kids, Maddie and Josh. It was really fun to reconnect with her and see her kids. We played with toys, ate lunch and took a nature walk in their subdivison. Lyla fell asleep in the car before we even got on the main road. We then picked up daddy to go find cupcakes and celebrate Lyla's day.
Day three, Friday: Tommy took some time off from his conference to visit the zoo with us. It was really fun and we enjoyed having him come with us. Unfortunately it was rainy and cold that night or we would have gone to the Indians baseball game, instead we watched it from a window in the hotel.
Day four, Saturday: We decided to hit the road and go half way home to STL. We stopped at the arch and Laclede's Landing for a bite to eat. Then we headed to our hotel where we went swimming. Lyla loved it but Steven is still a chicken. Lyla sat on the edge of the pool and would throw herself at me. Steven would just cling to Tommy's neck.
Day five, Sunday: We headed to the St. Louis Zoo right at the time it opened. We spent the morning there, ate lunch and then got to the car for the last leg of driving around 2pm. Kids slept most of the way but we totally nuts by the time we reached the outskirts of Kansas City. 
I think we were all ready to be home!
