In St. Louis we enjoyed our baseball game & the kid's crew party. Michael got 4 autographs & Emily got 3. Both kids enjoyed a festival on the Arch grounds - Michael did a little bit also, but did not get to take in as much as he went to the baseball game early with Doug. He did not get any autographs before the game, but did get a ball.

We wondered if we were going to get off for the weekend. On Thursday night Doug realized the lights on the camper were not working. He ended up wiring up some battery powered lights that were magnetic. Then he got a flat tire on the camper while driving it to work (he hooked it up on Thursday evening so we did not have to do it on Friday). He got that changed and we thought we were good. Then, when we pulled into the campground and started setting up the camper - a cable on the camper snapped. So - it was a trip to Walmart at 9:00 St. LOuis time (10:00 our time) to get a new cable so he could put the camper. We got it up and all things set up around 10:00 St. Louis time.

Then on Sunday we headed out so we could worship at Aunt Dawn's church. They had an outdoor service on Sunday, so we were ready - even had our camping chairs along & needed them. It was a fun service. The kids enjoyed running around with Leyna for a little bit after Church & Doug even helped take down a screen they had made.

It was a wonderful weekend! The kid's crew party & game along with the Arch festival (and a parade we happened to catch the end of) all made for a fun time! Emily even cheered for the Cardinals at appropriate times :) We decided that if she did not have to go to as many games, she could handle 1 game :)
