For the last several years Colton, Kyle , Eric and myself head downtown to get ourselves prepared for Cardinal baseball! We had planned to go Monday but the weather was yucky and Colton spent the afternoon at St Charles Community College for orientation. Colton then had his 4 wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday so we waited until today for our adventure. I picked the guys up and our 1st stop was Gus's pretzels - the pretzel sticks were warm and yummy. We got a few extra to bring home to JD and Carla.
From there our next stop was Busch Stadium. We checked out the new Stan Musial plaza - they better work fast. There were workers everywhere spreading mulch, sprucing up the grounds, etc. We saw a tour group and the boys had to check out and see if the guide was Ed Tritschler - they didn't think another guide would be nearly as good! (Side note - if you want to go on a stadium tour led by Ed come to the Camp Ne-O-tez dinner and bid on the stadium tour for 15 led by Ed that the Cardinals donated (Ed thanks for the connection!)
We picked up a few things at the Team Store (imagine that)! Then our next stop was Vashon High School - not sure why but Colton wanted to see Vashon. We called Grandpa and he got the address and we headed to Vashon. Nobody wanted to get out and pose for pics there. By this time, 3 teenage boys were ready for lunch. We headed to Blueberry Hill. The sun was shining and the U. City Loop was buzzing! We were late for lunch but the place was still packed.
We headed back home to watch some "hoop action"! In the family pool I was leading on Thursday but after today I have surely tumbled. The Kruse family will be in tomorrow and the Easter fun begins. We are having a "night" egg hunt for the 5 guys. Eggs filled with coins, cash, gift certificates, scratch offs , make for lots of fun! Sunday everyone is here and the 4 Ward kiddos will have an egg hunt! HAPPY EASTER!
