St Louis and more

We went down to St Louis for the 4th of July. I wanted to see the fireworks under the arch. It was pretty fun, minus the terrible traffic afterwards. Once we got to the truck (which was 10 blocks away) it took us a half an hour to get to the freeway which was only like 7 blocks away. It was totally ridiculous. The people here are not near as nice here as they are back home. We were trying to merge into the next lane for like 15 of the 30 minutes and NOBODY would let us in...who rude is that?!?!
We had to stop to get some cash so we stopped at a gas station which was next to a white castle. While we were sitting in the parking lot, some guy came up to us asking for some food. Then he asked us if he could have some of our food and tried to give us some hash in trade, he was kinda scary so we gave him a littlle bit of what we had. So of course he then asked us for some money. Luckily we didn't have any cash, but he saw our cup holder which was full of change and asked for that. We didn't want to get shot or something crazy (he definitely had some sort of weapon on him. He was pretty scary) So we gave him that and told him to keep his hash, being as that we don't smoke. He seemed shocked and reluctantly took it back. Needless to say we rolled up our window and got out of that area asap. Theres some crazy people out there.
The week before Steph went home we went out and did some sight seeing. We went to Lincoln's house and tomb, the downtown farmers market and the old capitol.

Me at the farmers market carring Taegen in my new wrap. It's so nice to not have to carry him in my arms.

The old capitol

The famous white castle. This is also where we were almost shot (haha ok not quite) and offered some hash.

Right: I told Jon I needed a good pic of my boys so here they are waiting for the shows to start at the arch.

And here's some new pics of my favorite little man.

Look at his cute little mohawk. He doesn't have much hair, but I had to try it :)
