Last week, the boys and I revisited one of our favorite places in St. Louis with our friends Elisha, Estella, and Baby January. I had forgotten how awesome this place is! We spent the late morning until lunch time hopping from one water feature to the next, cheering on Emil and January for their first dip of the season, and certainly not their last!
Elisha has quickly become one of my best girl friends here in St. Louis. She is positive, fun, quirky, quick-to-laugh, and one of the sweetest people I know. She has a great sense of style, and I always adore how she dresses herself and her sweet girls. She is amazing with little kids and I’m trying to learn patience from her, because she seems to have an endless amount. 
Plus, Oliver and Estella are besties, and Emil just adores January, though he needs much reminding about being gentle. She is not a big brother, she does not like to be tackled, and she does not enjoy a good eye-poke. That guy!
We are enjoying summer to the fullest, and this day was such a good one. Elisha bought the kids lemonade while we dried off in the sun and watched the other kids splashing in the fountains. If you decide to go, choose a weekday and you will practically have the place to yourself! We went on a Wednesday at around 10:30 and there were only a few other people there. Quiet, peaceful, and loads of fun!
These guys are cut from the same mold, clearly. They even run the same way!
Save your energy for the fountains. We dare you to run through without screaming with joy!
P.s.- Check out last year’s City Garden trip here
How cool! This is the sort of stuff that I really miss about the city. We have a sculpture garden down the road that I haven’t been to yet but I’m not holding out too much hope for it to be more than a junkyard with charged admission. And jeeez! The boys have grown a lot in the past year. 🙂
When you master patience, teach me.
That place looks amazing. We have a spray park nearby but it doesn’t have anywhere near that kind of charm. Anything that can entertain a big bunch of kids is also a giant plus!
This looks so fun! I’ll have to keep it in mind for our next trip into STL.
