Lone Elk Park

Ever since I moved back to STL I have been wanting to check out Lone Elk Park.  I'm not sure why, probably because I had never been and you drive through and see animals.  A less insane version on Grants Farm.  So while we were in recovering from the flu, I knew the boys needed out of the house, but I couldn't do too much.  We drove down to check it out.  The first trip was a bust, we only saw a deer or 2.  Our second trip was prefect.  We saw all the bison, some deer and geese.  Just enough for it to be memorable for Gabriel.  Bennett wasn't too sure about it all and probably didn't get the best view from his car seat.



Swimming

We joined the Y way back in September and since then we've been taking advantage of Sunday morning swims.  It has been a great way for the boys to burn energy during the cold winter months.  And even better, we get home in time for lunch then straight to naps.  It's awesome.  While I don't have any picture of them actually swimming (Scott and I are in the water with them), they are super cute when they are excited to get in the water and waiting for us.
