We went to St. Louis this past weekend for Scott's cousin Keith's wedding... It was a wonderful wedding!!! and a wonderful weekend!!! The reception was at the City Museum, which was basically a huge play land for adults and kids... it was WILD!!! the food and drinks in St. Louis were spectacular... it was a great time... The St. Louis Arch was pretty neat too... Didn't realize that it actually moves when you are at the top!!! Kinda crazy!!! Congratulations to Keith and Sarah!!!

I know it is a bit early, but we are gonna be busy every weekend until Halloween and it was the only time we could do it together... the pumpkin seeds are always a plus!!! the boys LOVE them!!! I got a recipe off of the internet last night... boiled them for 10 minutes in salt water and baked them for 20 minutes... they are awesome!!! We LOVE fall!!!
