Day 2 -- Chesterfield, MO

Peter was taking a dep all day and the kids and I were off for some fun but had to stay nearby so we could bring lunch to everyone at his deposition.

Chesterfield has tons and tons of parks. The city is only about 20 years old and a lot of urban planning went into this city and you can tell!

This sculpture is so cool and bigger than you can imagine! They climbed all over the statue and Fisher was upset I would not let him climb to the top of the hand and swim from the thumb. He failed to recognize that the metal was super slick and not climbable!

We were off to the Butterfly House and decided to play some at the great park near it!

Hello Butterfly!

You cannot see all the butterflies here but there were so many and some were HUGE!

Did you say cockroach?

Inside the Butterfly House were so many butterflies it was crazy. They said it is the largest house in the US.

And there were flowers.

All Fisher wanted to do was catch a butterfly but he never did! They were quick!

EB by the Korean Orchid!

Under the "Arch".

Tate did not make it for long in the butterfly house because truly in his defense there were so many it was like the movie the "Birds". He was a tad freaked out and spent all his time in a chair in the room after you left the butterfly house. It was cool and he had a chair, who could blame him!

Out on our adventure we found a Panda Car -- we had to stop!

On our trip we are playing this great license plate game to help earn the kids some spending money -- they have to work together and be a team to get the money. We found Hawaii in the parking lot of the grocery store. We had to get a picture! The owner of the car was so nice when and told the kids to make the Hawaiian hand symbol. They were not sure what to do and Fisher just refused.

And another Panda siting! They are everywhere!

We finished the day with Peter taking the kids to a great municipal water park while I shopped for some clothes and we had a great dinner at P.F. Chang!
