*****Warning - the 4th of July was long - THIS ONE IS LONGER****
After a week in Paris we headed to St Louis for a couple of days to explore and learn. It was a lot of fun to see all the things St Louis had to offer. There are a lot of activities for kids that are free!! The Magic House is not one of those things, However IT IS WELL WORTH the money! It was Wonderful. We made it to St Louis late Tuesday night and decided to try out the Magic House on Wednesday, we had other things planned in case the day went fast, however, that was not the case. The Magic House is wonderful, we spent well over 7 hours there and the boys were not ready to leave, but at that point mom and dad were ready to go. It was very exciting and something worth making a trip for. Here are some pictures of our adventure!
Ready to go - The boys are not always excited to stop and take a picture but they do it anyway!;)
Brayson the human hockey puck!
The boys had fun working this puzzle on the big screen
Brazos enjoyed watching the balls roll and trying to predict where they would land
Braxton had fun filling the bottle with air to see how far it would shoot
Brazso with an air gun to make the wheel spin
Brayson spent over an hour playing with magnets
He had a good string of washers going
Braxton got in on the magnet action
And Brazos joined us
THere was a large metal ball there that would make your hair stand up, and since nobody in our family has any hair except me, well I got at turn to make my hair stand up. Major static electricity!!
There was a very large slide that went down three stories, so of course all the boys had to try that, a couple of time!! Braxton coming down
And Brazos
Then Brayson
THe bubble room was also a big hit - Braxton making a bubble around him
Andy blowing on a bubble plane that Brazos had made

The Pulley system was also a favorite with my boys. They worked really hard to get themselves up to the top.
Brayson enjoyed building with the blocks
Braxton playing with the balls in the bell maze
The the water room!! Huge fun
Of course Braxton had to find a way to block the water. He is such an engineer!

There was a section where you have to slove a crime and they give you steps to follow and one of the step is in a lab, there are glasses in there and of course Braxton played the part and played it well. Good job detective!
