Cyril, Cyril, and Susan went to the St. Louis Zoo on Saturday while Tommy and I hung out with my grandparents at the house. They had a pretty good time, and even stopped for some delicious Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard afterwords...and were even nice enough to bring some home for us!
There was a baby Giraffe! Sorry I missed it, they are my favorite animal :-)
While they were at the zoo, Tommy found his thumb. Sorry the picture is sideways, having trouble getting the computer to cooperate :-)
When they got home from the zoo, Cyril and Grandpa played a little golf
Then on Sunday Morning we headed up to Iowa to see Cyril's maternal grandparents, Jack and Margaret Ann, as well as some of his Aunts and Uncles
Fun times relaxing on the front porch
Tommy meets Uncle Tom whom he was named after

Uncle Tom and Cyril about to roll down the hill backwards. It was so much fun they did it again and again and again!
More hill rolling
After multiple attempts I was able to capture a hummingbird at the feeder
Cyril was going to miss water fun day at school while we were on the trip, so we had our own water fun day in Iowa with the sprinkler and the slip 'n slide
Cyril tried many new foods in Iowa, and one of his favorites was sweet Iowa corn. Grandma had also gotten a lot of fresh raspberries from someone in town which were delicious. We enjoyed them so much we bought multiple bags to bring back to Tennessee.

Grandma and Grandpa have planted trees for all of their grandchildren and great grandchildren. As well as for their own children. Here is Cyril by his tree.

The following Friday evening we headed back to St. Louis to continue to visit with my grandparents and one of my aunts as well as some of Cyril's paternal side of the family.
Nancy with Tommy and of course Muffin who thought Tommy's ears were delicious!
Glenn teaching Cyril about fly fishing and showing him his flies
Matt and Amanda were able to come down to Glenn and Nancy's to join us for dinner. It was great to get to see them both. Cyril was very excited as well :-)
Little Cyril got a hold of the camera. Everyone say peanuts! Did you just call me a peanut?

Then on Sunday we left early and headed for home. Tommy was very good at sleeping in the car, so we didn't have to stop often. Little Cyril tried to stay awake every time we were in the car, but finally learned we would get there "faster" if he would go to sleep. We had a great time, it was so good to see everyone and introduce Tommy to the family.
