my sister in-law, lindsay, was the first one to come visit us (in late july) and that just means she loves us the most. :) her ticket was booked before we even moved from az and it was something i was really looking forward to. we picked her up in kansas city and i don't know who was more excited, me or the girls. we had a busy five days and lindsay was our guinea pig as far as finding out what fun things there are to do here in MO.
we hiked the devil's icebox trail at rock bridge park. it was miserably hot and humid.
looking down into "the devil's icebox".
it's a stream that runs underground for miles and is open at times of the year for spelunking.
it's pretty chilly down there and felt wonderful on such a warm day.
they are sitting almost directly below the opening in the the picture above.
madison and dad.
lindsay braved the cave as well.
i was the photographer and declined their invitation to join them.
translation: i don't do caves.
we headed downtown to shakespeare's pizza on friday night. it was absolutely packed and we won't be returning on a weekend anytime soon. the best thing is the pizza dough they give the kids to play with while waiting for the food.
a sunday stroll on the katy trail.
miserably hot and humid also.
ready for a walk in shelter gardens.
new shoes from aunt lindsay.
miserably hot and humid, again.
do you see a reoccurring theme here? :)

we celebrated lindsay's birthday!!
what beats getting woken up by your nieces, singing happy birthday, with candles in donuts? ok, maybe a lot of things but that the best we could do. we had waffles with homemade buttermilk syrup and i even splurged for some orange juice. i hope lindsay felt at least a little special that day even though we had to say goodbye and she traveled home. we had a wonderful few days and we can't wait to have her come visit again in december!
we love you lindsay!
