Bike Track

Dale made the boys a bike track and they have been obsessed with it.  They have been riding their bike for hours and even take turns taking the dirt bike on it.

Blues Stanley Cup Parade

Will was selected by St. Peters Spirit to walk in the Blues Stanley Cup Parade Saturday. Our day started with a ride out from our neighbor in a Deuce and a Half.  We then got to the parade set up and were able to see some of the floats being set up.  Initially, one of the Blues girls said Levi and Max could walk too, but then I guess a lot more people asked so they said no.  Levi was upset so another Blues girl personally invited him to walk with her.  (Way to play your cards Levi!)  So Dale, Max and I watched the parade from the staging area as the parade started.  We had a good spot where we were able to see everything.  We then went to pick up the other two and went to Ballpark Village for lunch before heading home.  It was really awesome that Will and Levi got the walk in the Blues very first Stanley Cup parade, but I felt bad that they didn't get to see anything of the parade because of it.  Either way, it was a great day!

Flooding

On June 1st, we officially became landlocked due to flooding.  We stayed here mostly, but would get a ride from Roy Weber when we needed to go out for a baseball game.  With the roads being flooded, and the only way to get around being the Katy Trail, the boys were able to have free reign of Black Walnut.  They rode their bikes, dirt bike, golf cart and 4-wheeler on the road.  They played basketball on the street.  The could basically go wherever they wanted until there was water.  We had parties with the neighbors, including a Blues watch party at our house.  We only had a little bit of water in our yard when it was at it's highest, but otherwise we stayed dry.  The fist night we were stuck, there was a terrible storm and we lost power for a couple of days.  Luckily Ameren was able to boat in and fix it.  Other than that, we cannot complain of the inconvenience as there are a lot more homes and properties that were not as lucky as us.
