St Louis Union Station

For something to do we went to the new St Louis Union Station indoor facility. It was pretty nice. The kids tried the rope walk. I don't think Rachel liked it.

Christmas Eve Escape Room

The kids came to Illinois for Christmas  On Christmas eve we all did an escape room. Patrick insisted on doing the difficult room so we made maybe halfway before time ran out.

Hummingbird and a garden

 I went out to the sunroom and there was something flitting about outside. It took me a few seconds to realize it was a hummingbird. I only get a few seconds on video before it moved off.

April loves the raised garden beds and has challenged herself to grow something. It works pretty well. The strawberries did not produce any fruit, but I expected that. They sometimes don't the same year they are planted.

Tried to identify some of the plants.

The tomatoes did well.

The broccoli gave up one bloom.

St Louis Gay Pride Parade

 April's boss had her march in the Gay Pride Parade and she dragged me along. It was interesting, just hot. We stood in the heat waiting to march for hours. It finally got going but we ditched it about halfway through.
