St. Louis Day #3

After a long day on Saturday, the girls slept in and it was nice to see that the Magic House did not open until 11am on Sunday. No need to rush around. Thanks to Facebook, I printed a coupon good for admission for the entire family! The Magic House is the children's museum in St. Louis. Looked great and HUGE. Once we entered we figured we were going to easily spend the entire day there. So many things to do and great that there are separate activites for younger and older kids to keep both occupied. We did end up spending around 5+ hours there. Highly recommend this place, especially on a hot day as there was plenty of A/C!!

Found a great pizzeria for dinner and then tried Ted Drewe's frozen custard for dessert. For my Auburn friends it reminded me of "The Flush". A place where everyone comes to hang out and eat frozen favorites and just emjoy a nice summer night. We easily spotted where it was once we got near as there were literally 100 people in line!! There were many lines so it did not take long at all. Yummy!!

Swimming back at the hotel after dessert wrapped up our fun day. We had a great day!
