are quinn and daddy at the beginning of the climb kennedy was already way ahead poor jeff climbed with quinn to the very top he had to hunch way down half way up quinn was over it she would have liked to get down i think so jeff had to encourage her the rest of the way up jeff and kennedy went down the slide but not quinn kennedy just about to go down the slide here is she is 3 4 of the way down this is yet another slide but first you must climb up using a rope next we have the huge dome they have hung a rope from it painted a large circle on the floor and just let people swing all day there is also a ferris wheel on the roof all four of us rode it quinn hid her face most of the ride but didn t make a peep at 10pm that night kennedy and jeff went back and rode it again now i bring you a few shots of the outdoor fun these are at the entrance of the museum and it is called monstrocity there are 2 old planes you can climb into and through tons of cages and tunnels a few slides a tree

some of the caves underneath in the basement in the above photo the girls are looking at the huge fish and turtles in the tank the next photo is taken looking down one of the tunnels kennedy is on the left looking into the other side of the huge fish tank the tile work in this place is stellar in the next shot i stood by kennedy and took a photo of jeff coming into the tunnel she is screaming in excitement i am actually surprised this photo turned out we had gone through the tunnel and into some caves it was so dark in some of them you couldn t really see the girls eyes are so big because of the camera flash another underground tunnel there are so many interlinking stairs slides and passageways that you can easily lose your children i wish i had more photos of the caves but it was very dark and super twisty turny posted by danielle holsapple at 5 12 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels family st louis summer vacation city museum st louis take 3 the toddler the bus ahhh city museum if you missed my previous posts on city museum you must read them here take 1 and here take 2 it will explain this crazy place this first shot is of my sweeties outside the museum look on the roof of the building yes that is a school bus more on that in a minute on the 3rd floor of the museum there is a toddler room quinn and i spent about 20 minutes there while jeff and kennedy explored outside after 20 minutes she was over it cool steps eh wish i knew where they found those fun cylinders these steps led to a tube slide a ball pit and some climbing tunnels yeah baby ball pit luckily there is another ball pit outdoors quinn now loves them this one was about 3 feet off the floor happy face this photo was taken from the museum s website it is the roof of the building 11 stories up i think it is old because many things are missing including the ferris wheel but i wanted you to see the school bus it hangs over the edge going for a ride this s a total blur but it is a photo taken out the door of the bus looking down to the parking lot yes those are 2 airplanes in mid air more on that another day bus driver kennedy looking out over the city jeff got this shot from the parking lot the underside of the bus good times posted by danielle holsapple at 12 00 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels family st louis summer vacation saturday july 21 2012 city museum st louis take 1 this was hands down the best stop on our trip to st louis the city museum is a kid s paradise and there really aren t even words to describe it you can check out their website here city museum if you are ever in st louis you absolutely must go even if you are an adult you can easily spend an entire day there we went on friday and they are open from 10am to midnight no joke and they held a wedding while we were there such a cool place i will do my best to describe what i can basically it is an old 11 story building in the heart of downtown st louis which was once the international shoe company they have filled the first 3 floors with these incredible caves treehouses tunnels and things you can t describe you walk into a tunnel and can spend 30 minutes in there before you find a way to get out and there are probably 20 different routes to take once you are in that tunnel there are slides and ladders and tunnels everywhere this is one little excerpt from their website cassilly and his longtime crew of 20 artisans have constructed the museum from the very stuff of the city and as a result it has urban roots deeper than any other institutions reaching no farther than municipal borders for its reclaimed building materials city museum boasts features such as old chimneys salvaged bridges construction cranes miles of tile and even two abandoned planes the above picture is of kennedy coming out of the bottom of a huge whale you can climb inside the whale and take different routes outside of it here are my favorite people exploring the whale s innards the is under the whale s tale jeff in the blue shirt and kennedy in the pigtails are watching a huge drum of water fall into a pit it is really impossible to get great photos in this place it is spectacular but my photos don t do it justice you could spend so much time just looking at this room before you ever explored it the white stuff at the top of the photo is what is hanging from the ceiling on the main floor so i am up high taking this photo you can see part of an enormouse tree house here and the metal cages coming from the left of the picture see those they are everywhere and it is how you get around in much of the museum jeff and kennedy are climbing through it see his blue shirt and khaki shorts kennedy is in front of him with a green shirt here is a close up see little miss quinn in there she loved this place that girl has no fear another view near the ceiling kennedy she is climbing in that thing it is sooo small some teenagers started climbing in it coming from the other direction i seriously thought they might get stuck kennedy had to turn her body around and climb out the way she had come in the next photo is part of the tree house i honestly can t even explain what you are looking at other than it is a tunnel of tree limbs so cool the spaces are so cramped it was hard for me to get good pictures this is just one part of the museum i will share more later but i wanted to leave you with the museum s description of this floor perhaps one of the most visually stunning areas in the museum the first floor is part undersea immersion part treehouse hideaway part cave adventure and all city museum above you visitors pinball through tunnels in the ceiling giving them a birds eye view of the beautiful and elaborate mosaic floor stroll through the life sized bowhead whale and you may hear whale songs blending in with the crashing waves of water dumped out by the puking pig a boiler tank perched atop an 1880 s fire pump that dumps water into the wave cave below fish fanciers will enjoy the 5000 gallon fish tank filled with fish native to missouri waters look out for the 39lb catfish and when you think you ve seen it all dig deeper because several underground passageways still await you taking you under the floor or work your way through the treehouse and up into the ceiling again can you find the pump room slide posted by danielle holsapple at 5 33 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels everyday life family st louis summer vacation thursday july 19 2012 saint louis zoo we recently took a quick trip over to saint louis of all the great kid activities in the city this was a must stop activity we were extremely impressed with the st louis zoo and we spent about 7 hours there see that cute baby elephant in the above photo the carousel ride is also a must do activity both girls are at an age were it is a blast i took way too many photos of them riding want proof you re getting it anyway i love in the next one how jeff is mimicking quinn s face i just couldn t crop him out it was a super hot day kennedy was such a trooper with all the walking and sweating this was near the end of the day exhaustion but then we ran into a waterfall energy again quinn was a bit apprehensive she really wanted to run in but couldn t make herself do it kennedy wasn t going to get wet and just watched but she couldn t stand it so they both ended up soaking wet at least it was the last stop oh and we did see animals at the zoo but wouldn t you rather look at my cute girls and i will leave you with a view from our hotel room see on the left side on top of the building there is a bright circle that is the ferris wheel on top of city museum more about that another day posted by danielle holsapple at 12 42 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels
