Road Trip - Day 6

Today we went to the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis.  We really went to the children's garden, but we had to pay admission to the regular garden to do that! 

Hayli loved that there was a slide!  Hana convinced Daddy to go down the slide with her... it was a tight fit with all three of them!

Grandpa and his grandbabies!

It was so hot, that the relief from the water part of the children's park was much needed! 

Hayli was excited to see the big playground.  There were a lot of ladders and ropes! (You have to tilt your head for the videos -- sorry!)

Working the boats was a favorite of Hayli's... she made her daddy proud!

After the gardens, we went on a boat ride.  If we thought it was hot at the gardens, that was nothing compared to how hot it would be in the boat!!! Oh, and we had to peddle in order to go anywhere in the boat!  We rented the boat for an hour but I think we were out on the water for 15 minutes before we were ready to go back to the shore!  LOL!!!

After we cooled off a bit in the van, we went to the 5 Guys hamburger place (Daddy had never been).  Hayli and Hana's favorite part? The ducks!

Hana decided to try to pet a baby duck! She ran and squealed and scared all the baby ducks... mama duck was NOT happy about that at all!  Poor Hana... she just wanted to pet a baby ducky!

The kids were ready for a nap when we got back to Grandpa's place.  After the short nap, we took Hayli to the 'carnival' (aka Chuck E Cheese).  She had a blast with Grandpa!
