What a fun family day for us. Left BloNo around 10:15 for the kinda long trip to the St. Louis area. Rory and Rachael actually were nice to each other in the car and aside from the occasional drama from our drama queen Rachael, the day went well. The kids like the house we are about to buy and are excited about the yard, deck, pool, their rooms. We saw a bit next door mowing the lawn, a little younger than Rory, maybe ten or 11? Also, it looked like a teenage girl maybe his age but not for sure. Rachael looked hard for someone who looked her age, but no luck so far. After looking at the house, we checked into our hotel and headed to old historical St. Charles to eat. After a late lunch, we walked down the riverfront and enjoyed the beautiful fall day. Rachael was running in her flip flops and somehow a bee got between her flop and the bottom of her foot, stinging her and leaving the stinger in the foot. Among the crying, I managed to get the whole stinger out and we now know that Rachael is not allergic to bees. After I carried her back to the car, we visited both of the kids schools and then headed back to the hotel where the kids swam. I can say now I'm wiped out, but we plan a full day at the zoo tomorrow.
