STL cont'd: City Museum

Daisy's not too sure she wants to ride the little train, but she tries it for one trip through the dark tunnel and ...

Yeah. Didn't like it.

Buster did.

And some climbing.

Cave exploration.

Sliding down the giant slide with Dad.

Back to the train.

I'll just be over here eating a grilled cheese.

I got some chips!!

Whatchootalkinbout.

Onward!

STL cont'd: Memorial Day party

The Derschmukes hosted a viewing of the Paris-Kaufmans.

Buster's first time playing Wii. That's Van on the left. Guess whose turn it is.

Daisy and Bennett

So Buster, A.J. and Van kept kind of disappearing behind the garage, and Dad was wondering what they were up to. So he snuck over, reached around the corner with the camera and ...

Then, perhaps bravely, perhaps foolishly, he stepped out into the open, which turned out to be ...

... his final act.

On the lam

But a heart o' gold. A present for Mom

Daisy's new friend

OK, Miss Saucy

Grandad Jim is the funniest man in the world

Stee-rike!

Crr-rrack! (The pitcher took the pitchers)

Jump on Dad's back (that's Dad's neck lower right)

Having your hair pulled to get the knots out isn't so bad when Grandad Jim makes with his famous "Little Piggy" routine

It's not a trip to Evansville until you've made pancakes with Grandad Jim. Right?

Right

STL cont'd: A.J.'s birthday party

Taylor

Buster's got the drop on me, even with the wrong eye closed.

What.

A pensive birthday boy, feeling the weight of the world now that he's 4.

Trip to St. Louis

4 a.m., waiting in the dark (camera flash notwithstanding), in pajamas, for the SuperShuttle.




STL, we are here.
