Prairie Museum and other fun things

Zeke's favorite things were a collection of vintage toy weapons.  They were much better quality and much more realistic than the toy weapons made currently.  He also really liked learning about the tornadoes that came through Kansas.  Dempsey really like the pet cat and sheep that were on the museum's property.

St. Louis Zoo

Ostriches are very strange looking when they put their head down between their legs and they remain stationary from the neck down.  They had Grizzley Bears, those were a favorite. 

This is one of the only pictures we have of you.  I am really glad you let me take it.  We all love it, especially Dempsey.  We have it in a place where she can look at you whenever she wants too.  Every once in a while she will say, "My dad's at home."  All of my pictures are on the other computer.  I left my Mac in storage because I don't trust it to perform.  I do really miss it though, at least all of my software. 



There were so many leaves on the ground, they were practically neck-deep.  They were digging tunnels through them.  Dempsey disappeared for over a minute.  I was anxious but she came out laughing, and without shoes.

Cole's Birthday, Allie (Wesley's little girl) is the one closest to Cole. This is at Will's parents house.  They are so nice to us.  They have an adult daughter living with them that take the kids to the zoo, and another single daughter in her forties that has them over to her house to make cookies, and watch movies. 

Dempsey riding a Georgia Bulldog, on a break from trick or treating.  College sports are huge out here.  There are four competing teams: Tennesee (Will and Cole are fans) Auburn (Polly's team, they went to the championship this year, Georgia and Alabama.  I like Alabama because of your maroon hat.  "Roll Crimson Tide!"  Zeke is undecided about which team he likes the best.  Dempsey is a Bulldog fan (see above). 

Sage - 2 (Dempsey's nemesis.  If Sage wasn't a head taller and a very loud screamer, she would be more of a nusicance than a nemesis.)
Polly- Usually up a lot at night.
Will- Hunts deer (the season is like four months long,) when he isn't working or at school.
Cole-  4 (Poor Zeke is stuck playing with him a lot.)
Mckelle- 1 Super pleasent, just doesn't like to hold still for pictures.
