Flying high

We had never visited Purina Farms before, but when we saw that there was 

a dog agility demonstration there, we knew we had to check it out
while we were in St. Louis.

(This is where the chicken showed up in the audience.)

My kids were eager to get the show on the road--but so were the dogs!

The trainers were awesome!

We loved the interactions between trainer and dog.

Very fun!

Up on a roof

Sometimes to get a little perspective on life

you just need to climb a little higher.

We may have planned our trip to St. Louis to go to a baseball game,

but there was another reason we have always wanted to go in the summer:

the roof at City Museum.

I have raved about this place several other times, but it was always in the winter.

The roof is only open in the summer.

We were NOT disappointed!

Especially since we arrived at the magical golden hour, 

just as the sun was dropping toward the horizon.

When we were up on the ferris wheel,

I realized that through the shield, I had the perfect view of this silhouette.

I had to dodge the spokes of the ferris wheel, but I was stunned when I saw these people in my images.

So sad I didn't notice until later.  I totally would have chased them down!

You know what's after the golden hour?

The blue light special!

(Do people actually call it that, or did I just make that up?)

City Museum.

Go. There.
