Last weekend, again because we wanted to walk and get outside, we went to Castlewood State Park. They have a great trail/hike up to the top of this cool bluff that overlooks the Meramec River (the brown watery thing in the picture). The river was really muddy because of all the rain recently but it was still a great hike and a lot of fun. Always good to get outside and breathe- especially when the fall is breathing down your neck (today's high was less then 70 degrees - brrrr).
Since Labor Day weekend is the official end of everything cool here (opps, I mean summer) that means that The Zoo starts closing at 5pm again instead of 7pm. So we took our last opportunity to go to Zoo Nights and check out the animals after work. Of course, Cody loves the goats. Apparently The Zoo goats aren't as great as the Grant's Farm goats though. We got to watch the hippos swim around, pet the goats, see the baby cheetas (which aren't so babyish anymore) and catch all the normal faves. 
A few weekends ago we wanted to get outside for a nice walk (we're into walking now since I can run) so we drove out to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. Apparently this is pretty historic and stuff and was part of the old Route 66 back in the day. The bridge no longer carries traffic and has been turned into a historic site/park where you can bike/ride over it and check out the Mississipppi - great scenery if you have the time.

Okay, I'm jealous. That looks like a great place to take pictures.
