Wohoo! The first weekend of summer in my book. This year we stuck around St. Louis which was nice but we did miss not being at the race or relaxing on the pontoon on Lake Pleasant. On Friday Lyla and I met some of my teacher friends who are finally done with school and their kids at Suson Park (which is just down the road from where we live and we never knew about it). This park was so much fun because they have a whole farm complete with pigs, cows, horses, and goats.
On Saturday we went to the zoo in the morning - I don't know who was more excited when we woke up to take Lyla to the zoo for the first time, Heath or me! It was perfect zoo weather, 65 degrees and sunny.

She was so infatuated with the fish I'm not sure if she ever saw the hippos beyond the fish |

| The Monkey House |

| She was having quite the conversation with this little guy |

| Ahhh! A monkey got loose! |
Saturday afternoon and evening the Wassons and the Trotts came over for a cookout. Lyla enjoyed playing with her friends :)
On Sunday Heath went to the Senior PGA Championship here in St. Louis while Lyla and I watched the Indy 500…well she watched the first lap
On Monday after we went to the club to workout, we drove through Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery - Wow. Over 150,000 soldiers are buried here dating back to the Civil War. It was also emotional being there on Memorial Day and seeing all of the flags placed at each individual grave. A lot of families were there placing flowers and paying their respects. Thank you to all of those who serve, have served, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!
We ended the day by going out for lunch and "Skyping" Grandpa Peters.
Happy Memorial Day!
Thanks for inviting the Trotts to your cookout! We had a blast and always LOVE seeing Ms. Lyla Bean! (and Heath too, of course!)
