Eagle Days and Cabela's-a dream come true!

This weekend my friend Aimee came to visit me. I kind of felt bad for her, because of all weekends, this was probably the worst. Ethan had been sick for most of the week and was just barely getting over it when she came to visit. Any parent knows, when your child is sick, you lose sleep, they lose sleep and it can make for a very crabby child and tired parent. Hence, this was the case. Ethan was not on his best behavior, due to lack of sleep and being sick, so he made for a great form of birth control--I don't think Aimee will be having kids anytime soon!! Anyways, we had a great weekend, despite a crabby, sick child. I have to mention that Kailey was perfect as usual--she really is the best baby ever!! Friday night we went out with one of our other friends to this great Spanish restaurant for tapas--the food was SOOOOOO good. I had never had authentic Spanish food and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saturday we went to an event called "Eagle Days." During the winter here, you can see a lot of eagles down by the Mississippi. There is a bridge here in St. Louis called the 'Chain of Rocks' bridge that is only open to foot traffic and in the middle of the bridge, they had a large tent with displays about the eagles. They also had a bunch of tents set up and some re-enactors on the grass before the bridge. Anyways, walking out to the tent was so cold and we were all pretty miserable, so needless to say we didn't stay too long. We did see a couple of eagles out in the trees by the river. Well, on our way home we decided to stop and let Aimee experience an outdoorsman's mecca--CABELA's!!!! Cabelas is like Bass Pro Shop and has everything you can think of for the outdoors. It is really fun, because inside they have a bunch of aquariums, they have tons of animals that are stuffed, a museum, etc. My dad and brothers could spend hours in there. We had a lot of fun walking around.

Well, the weekend flew by and it was so much fun to have Aimee in town. Aimee, we would love to have you come back and visit and I swear that Ethan really is a good kid and doesn't usually cry that much!! Thanks for a fun weekend and I am sure you are glad to be back in New York and away from crying children!!
