Vacation

So we just got back from our family vacation to St. Louis. It was a blast. Pics will come later.
We got there on Thursday the 26th, pretty late due to delayed flights :(. First stop the next morning, TED DREWES FROZAN CUSTARD. For those of you who aren't familiar with Ted Drewes, it is awesome. There are only two locations in the world and they are both in St. Louis, and my parents were kind enough to buy a house (20years ago) a block away from one of the locations, and the other one is maybe 10 miles away. We visited it alot. They make great concretes as well as banana-splits and a variation of other frozen custard desserts.
My dad was actually in Idaho/Utah for the first week we were there and my mom is going through chemo right now for colon cancer so she is tired alot and didn't feel like she could do a whole lot, so Friday we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie and then just hung out the rest of the evening. Saturday we went out to this great new mall called St. Louis Mills. It has all kinds of outlet stores, Nascar racing entertainment center, an ice rink and an 18 screen theater. It was huge! It took most of the day. During our visit to the Mills, we had picked out some shirts and other Cardinal souvenirs and when we went to pay our Visa was declined. We just figured that it was probably due to the fact that we don't use it alot and so it was flagged to make sure we were the ones using it and because it was a Saturday I couldn't call about it. So we used the only cash we had taken and then had to just use our debit cards.
Sunday was pretty uneventful, we went to church and then both of my brothers, Jeremy and Ben, and Ben's family came to my mom's for dinner. It was great to see them again and get to know Ben's boys again, it always takes so long for them to warm up to us.
