Run, Jump, Crawl and Have a Ball!

The next morning in St. Louis we went to The City Museum.  It is an old warehouse in St. Louis where they have repurposed things from old buildings to make essentially a four story playground.  There are caves, tunnels, slides and more to climb on and through.  The tricky part for parents or grandparents is once your kids enter a tunnel many times you are not sure where they will come out in the end.  
We started our day on the roof of the building. The roof had many large slides, a school bus that hangs over the side of the building and a ferris wheel.  Ella and Aiden loved the slides and went down them many times.  Emma and Sam decided they wanted to ride the ferris wheel.  They had a fun time on the roof and then we headed downstairs to see what was on the first four floors.  Each kid had things that they liked the best but they all had fun exploring.  
When it was late afternoon I headed back to Columbia.  The kids, AC and my mom went to drive by the arch to get a closer look.  It is under renovations right now so they decided not to go up in it this trip.  They then went back to the hotel for some swimming and card games to end the busy day.

Ella loved running up these walls American Ninja Warrior style.
