Saturday:
We went to the Kirkwood Farmers Market. While the market does not have any local produce yet, there were plenty of good veggies, treats and flowers to pick from. We picked up some Portabellas, apples, bananas, a red pepper, and strawberries for the weekend. We then drove by the fire house to see the firetrucks on our way to a Kirkwood park we call "Turtle Park". We're not sure what the real name of the park is, but I think you'll see why we call it "Turtle Park"! The weather wasn't outstanding, but it was nice to get out of the house. In the pm, we went to the school to play a bit before coming home to watch a movie with Em while Adam went to sleep. 
Sunday:
The weather today was OUTSTANDING - 70's and sunny. WOW! We celebrated Earth Day at the St. Louis Zoo and in honor of Earth Day, we broke out the travel cooler and brought our own lunch! The Zoo has a Dinosaur exhibit so we visited that first. Adam was actually afraid of T-Rex and some of the other dinosaurs which surprised us since he LOVES dinos.
We also visited a few other parts of the zoo including the children's zoo (where Adam held a snake!), the carousel, and the sea lions. 
HUGE T-Rex! Actually, the docent said the T-Rex was most likely the size of a youth T-Rex, not a full grown adult.
After Adam's naptime, we rode our bikes on Grant's Trail. We didn't do the full trail, but went far enough to ride by Grant's Farm where the AB Clydesdales are kept. What beautiful animals! Our camera battery died earlier in the day, but we had Paul's cell phone so he snapped a few pictures.

Wonderful pics, as usual. Em is her photogenic self, and Adam had genuine smiles throughout. Not that I'm biased, or anything....
Dominici would have a ball with those dinosaurs! Your kids are so cute - and so grown up!
