St. Charles, MO!

Yesterday we went to St Charles, MO. St Charles is near the Missouri River and has a beautiful historic downtown area filled with unique shops and delicious restaurants. The first store we went to was a neat little bookstore which is where we ended up spending most of our time. Karissa loved dragging Grandma around and making her read different books. She even met a fairy there because an author who wrote a Young Adult Fantasy Novel, Eleganta, about fairies was there signing copies of his book. (I purchased one and look forward to reading it!)




We then wandered in and out of stores until we grew hungry and then ate outside at a nice little cafe. Caleb received some of his first gifts from Grandma (his very first were pacifiers from Karissa!). We ended our time there by going to a local coffee shop where Karissa met some superheroes, they were on a scavenger hunt to prove who was the most powerful. They were very kind to Karissa and gave her some little wooden trinkets.



Caleb seemed to enjoy the day too. He seems to like it a lot when I am up walking. I think he is going to be one of those babies when upset like to be walked around. We highly enjoyed our day in St. Charles and the gorgeous weather made it even more pleasant!
