under the magnolia tree

We had SO much fun it St. Louis! It was great to be back! I don't know where our time went. It went by so fast. We were so busy. The weather was gorgeous and it was wonderful to see all of our family and friends. Magnolia had a blast playing with all of her cousins and the trip down and back was a breeze.

It was so much fun going to the zoo. Magnolia was completely overwhelmed by everything there. She hardly talked at all, she was just trying to take it all in. Above she's standing in front of the seals. Below she's riding the carousel with her daddy.

We pretty much stayed outside the whole time we were there. Here's Magnolia in Nani's front yard.

Baby George got a lot of attention from his Aunt Alicia. Here she is holding him.

Her son, Musa, took this picture!

Musa, a real daredevil, ate this worm! Still turns my stomach when I think of it!

One really hot day we hung out in Nani's backyard. Magnolia played in the wading pool and I hung out with the baby under the umbrella.

Magnolia's Uncle Rob is a firefighter. We made a stop at his firehouse where she got a tour, a fire hat, and stickers.

Magnolia loved her playing with her cousins! We had such a good time at all the parties and dinners shared with families and friends. We got to make our rounds at all our favorite St. Louis stops. I got to shop at my favorite stores. We walked every morning to our favorite coffee house. It was such a nice visit! I have to say it is a little hectic traveling with a baby but it was good practice and we did it!
