We ran a race as a family last weekend. It was at Mel's best pal Carson's pre-school. They had a little race for kids to start it off. They were so cute. Melanie and Carson were the only two who false started. They were pretty excited!

| We went to Claire's birthday party at the park. Saint Louis has food trucks that rotate parks, so we enjoyed some good food, music, and hangin with friends. I love this picture by the way:) |
| Drew flew home to Colorado for a brothers weekend. They planned a back packing trip, but with the flooding that was happening they opted for a few day hikes instead. |
| We like to meet Drew for lunch near the school, and hang out around campus. |
| This is what Drew sees when he leaves. And when he comes home. |
| I made the girls a little reading nook. |
| We went apple picking at Eckert's Farm. It is such a cool place. They have this super cute store that smells amazing and gets me in to trouble buying baked goods! |
| Just sharing an icecream cone! |

| They are constantly pulling each other around in a basket, on a blanket, in a box, really anything they can find. |
| We got some great pics at the zoo. The weather was so nice and the animals were so happy! |
| I love when they just sit at this little table. They are so cute. |
| We went to Grant's Farm a couple weekends ago. It is such a fun place. We fed some aggressive goats, rode a camel, and enjoyed some wonderful fall weather. |
| We rode this bad boy around the lake, and it was so fun. The girls loved it. |
| Another food truck night! Can you tell which truck is my fav? |
| This happens daily! |
| Botanical Gardens. This is Melanie's friend Oliver. Yes, she pretty much plays with boys. |
| I see Jena almost everyday. Here we are enjoying some Froyo. We feel like because we go after kick boxing that it doesn't really count;) |
