Guys Weekend!

Last weekend Kathee, Hope, and Esther, along with Kathee's sister Sharon and neice Dora (who both flew in from Mississippi) headed up to Chicago to attend a wedding reception for Kathee's cousin Sarah.  So Gideon and I had the place to ourselves from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.  We had a blast.  

Friday night I took him bowling, which he absolutely loved!  He scored 93!  I really reminded me of when I was young and my now-sister-in-law Kris would pick up my brother Zach and I and take us bowling at Riverside Bowl in Dubuque.  She did this while dating my brother Nathan, who was living in Conneticut and working at Tiffany & Co in NYC.  GREAT memories for my brother Zach and I (the bowling part, not my brother Nathan living in CT).  

After bowling, he wanted to go to Imo's Pizza.  This is the place to get St Louis-style pizza (think cracker crust and a funky cheese called Provel cheese-- it's a white Velveeta-ish cheese).  He likes it.  I like it.  Away we went.  

Saturday morning we woke up (okay, he woke me up) and made breakfast.

I wanted to make bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel (even with the McDonald's-style sauce).  They were so good!  

Then I took him to the St Louis Science Center.  He really had a blast (and so did I).  I love it that there is so many free things to do in St Louis.
