Day 1: We left around 10:30 and headed up to the St. Louis Zoo. Wes thought the Hippo tank was great, but it took him a little while to warm up to it. After we left the zoo we went to Sonic to get a drink (walking around the zoo is TIRING) and then drove about 30 minutes past Saint Louis and stayed the night.
Day 2: We woke up early and headed to Pittsburgh. We pulled into town just in time to find a parking place and head to PNC Park to watch the St. Louis Cardinals take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. The game was exciting with the Cardinals coming out on top :) Our seats were great, and Wes had a blast with his Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Rick, Laura, Ryan, Joe, and Mike (he doesn't like being around us so much).
Day 3: We wore ourselves out walking around Pittsburgh. There was also a college football game that day so there were people EVERYWHERE. The City is beautiful with a lot of bridges crossing the river, and a nice riverwalk that goes right alongside it.
Day 3 Continued: We were able to go to another Game with the Cardinals winning again :) After the game there were fireworks which were AWESOME. Once again Wes spent his time as far away from us as he could get.
Day 4: We got back in the car and drove up to Cooperstown, NY to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The town was little and had lots of little shops filled with baseball memorabilia. Todd, obviously was excited to be there.
Day 5: By day 5 I was pretty sick of baseball so I hung out with Wes outside while Todd continued to look around Cooperstown. Wes was practicing his "jumping" outside off of the curb and then would run up and then back down the sidewalk and "jump" again. (he needs a lot more practice). This particular time he ran to the end and posed just like this and said "cheese, mommy, cheese" Of course I had to open up my camera and snap this shot...that silly boy.
We were also able to drive home through Kirtland, Oh and drive by the Temple and visitors center. It was getting late so we didn't have time to tour or anything but it was still nice to see.
Day 6: We drove home...Hooray!
I have A LOT more pictures to post, but I'll post them on my blog.

Wes was pretty tired by the end of the day so he decided to take a little rest inside Hank Aaron's locker.

On Day Three we explored Pittsburgh during the day and went to another Cardinals game at night. We started off by walking across the bridge and into the downtown area. Here is a picture of the stadium from across the bridge.
A picture of us on the bridge.
There were Three bridges just like this. Aren't they fantastic?
At the ball game.
There was a wonderful fireworks show after the game. These pictures don't do it justice, but it was great.

So long PNC Park!
A picture of Wes at the field before the game. He's great at saying "cheese" now he just needs to work on actually looking at me while he does.

The view of the city from our seats. Isn't it Beautiful!
They gave out free pirate beanies to everyone that came to the game and Wes thought they were great. In fact, he likes it so much he wears it around at our house still and even outside when he goes to play with the neighbor kids after school. Like it? I have two more I'd love to give away!
This is the temple bag I made for Stacy last month. It has a zipper at the top, is fully lined, and has a pocket for the temple packet. It was actually a mistake...I made a wrong cut and had to improvise. I think it turned out pretty cute and hopefully Stacy does too :)
THIS, is a bag I made for ME. The handles on my trusty black bag started to bust so I decided it was time for something new :) This bag has EIGHT pockets, has extra stiff interfacing so it stands on its own, and is reversible. This side of the bag has a small pocket built into the seam (see the marker sticking out the top)..and one just like it on the inside, that is the perfect size for my cell phone...no more missed calls for me :)
The elastic loop hooks over the covered button to keep it shut. There are three pockets on this side...and three just like it on the inside. They are the perfect size for diapers, a note pad or a water bottle.
Wes and Todd in the penguin exhibit. It was FREEZING inside and the penguins kept splashing Todd's back :)
It took a lot of convincing to get Wes to take this picture. Finally after we assured him it was a "toy" did he go and stand by it...but not with open arms.
This is how we kept Wes busy for most of the trip.
