What a birthday celebration!
Gabe and Kel are now official Season Pass holders at Six Flags!
Sierra and I were along for support in the celebration.
After picking up Kel's Caterpillar art in St. Louis we had quite a day enjoying the rides.
I wilted at around 4pm after only getting 4 1/2 hrs of sleep last night.
Kel wilted on the way home after one too many coasters I think it was the Batman that did her in!

Gabe's 11th Birthday
I didn't get to spend much time with him today, but he invited a friend over after school and played together in the backyard. Had a nice celebration with family and then I took off for poker night.
Now if I can be ready to make it through a full day at Six Flags tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Gabe!
I Love You!

Blues with the Blues
It was the best of times it was the worst of times!
It was a tall order already down 3 games to none in the series. They only had to win the next 4 in a row.
The Blues started out good, gave up a soft goal in the first six minutes, but held the Canucks off the rest of the period. You good feel the air just go out of the place when Vancouver took a 2-0 lead in the 2nd period. Not good!
But I'll be damned if they didn't get their sticks out their cracks or heads out of their @$$ and they started playing hockey! They actually came back and tied it up on two amazing goals within minutes of each other. Another puck that went behind the goal line a few minutes later was called no goal by the officials. Boooo!!!
We were on the edge of our seats all throughout the overtime, the Blues were just one shot from extending the series one more game.
Then with only 20 seconds left in the 1st OT it happened. A Vancouver player jumped on a loose puck that was dumped along the boards in the St. Louis zone. The Blues defenseman knew he couldn't beat him to the puck as the rest of the team was making a line change so he collapsed towards the net, Burrows took a sharp angle shot on goal and I could see it hit the twine behind the goalie and that was it. The dream was over.
Vancouver had quite a celebration on the ice and the Blues looked down and lost. Then all of a sudden everyone in the arena started chanting "Let's Go Blues! Let's Go Blues!" It was a nice tribute to a team that had fought so hard the last two months just to get into the playoffs from being last place in the conference in January.
It was fun, but dissapointing. I'm glad I was there!

St Louis Zoo
Went to St Louis today and spent the day at the zoo!
Kel had to drop her Caterpillars off for an exhibit that she was having and the rest of us hung out in Forest Park enjoying the animals.

Has An Easter To You!
Easter was spent at friends house having a great dinner. Thanks Shawn and Caroline!
Also played some wii "Dancing With The Stars" Gabe has got the moves and I thought I did surprisingly well! Shawn was the star of the night edging Gabe out in points, but I think somehow losing the judges votes. How does that happen?
Also got to watch part of the Blues final game of the regular season vs. the Avalanche. The Blues winning it vaulted them from 8th to 6th in the Western Conf. We have tickets to the 4th game, I hope they make it a good one!

Keuka Lake!
It's official! We are going to Keuka Lake 2nd week of July this year. We will be on the west side at what seems to be a glorious cottage on the lake nestled in a grove of pines. I think it should hold our large crew of family very well.
