Saturday morning we went to the zoo before it got too hot. The zoo there is free, and really great! I would highly recommend it, there were a lot of neat exhibits and animals.
Alex, Sara Beth, Shane and Matthew at the zoo!
Can you see how he is resting his head on Shane's? It was adorable.
That afternoon we went to Cathedral Basilica of St Louis, which is known for its architecture and mosaic tiles. It was beautiful, I have never seen mosaic tiles like this anywhere in America.
Working around naps in the car made this trip a little more difficult, but everything ended up working just fine. Since Matthew was such a trooper skipping entire naps for zoo time, and tours we tried to let him sleep in between activities in the car as much as possible. Which is why we didn't even get out of the car at the arch this trip, he was sound asleep in the back seat! We just parked close by and took a few pictures while reminiscing of our last trip to St. Louis where we saw the arch for the first time.
Later that morning we headed to the Anheuser Busch factory. A tour we were both very interested in, even though I am pregnant, it was still very cool! The "campus" there was beautiful and historic, we even got to see the famous Budweiser Clydesdale's, and their stables.
The factory tour ended in a tasting room, where you could try several of the different beers and drinks Anheuser Busch makes. Of course Matthew and I enjoyed the free pretzels and soft drinks as well!
