Since I'm not working full time anymore, we decided to head down to the Cardinals Opening Day rally last week. My parents always do promotions there, so they have taken the kids before, and I always miss out because I'm working.
So, I was super excited to go this year. The kids and I got up and got dressed in our Cardinals gear.
I packed snacks, diapers, the stroller, sunglasses for the kids... we got in the car to head to pick up Mimi, Vicky and Ruckus... and then the rain started. It started and it didn't stop until about 4:00 that afternoon. Not just a sprinkle either. It was a downpour. Bummer, bummer, bummer!
We all headed down there anyway, just in case the rain died down. No dice. There were some very dedicated people out there. People with huge umbrellas and ponchos, and wet jeans from walking in all the rain puddles. No one was pushing a stroller in the rain. No one was THAT crazy.
So, our Opening Day plans were ruined (boo), but we wanted to make the most of the day anyway.
We stopped at McDonald's for lunch and to figure out what we were going to do.
We ended up going to The Science Center. Jack had never been, and Kate hadn't been since before Jack was born. So, really, it was brand new to her.
Jack was fascinated by the huge dinosaur.
We built the infamous arch that has been there since I was a kid.
We walked over the highway.
Kate loved the part where you could track someone's speed as they drove on the highway underneath.
We had a great day, despite the weather. As we were running through the rain to the Science Center, Kate looked up at me with rain all over her and yelled, "This is the best adventure ever!" haha!
