Lisa had a great idea for we 5 girls to go to Faust Park in Chesterfield to ride the carousel and visit the butterfly garden/ museum. It was a bit of a chilly spring day to be outside, so I was pleasantly surprised when the carousel was inside, and the butterfly garden was down-right warm and humid. I think Iz, Lisi and Paige could have stayed on the carousel riding different horse-ys all day. It was fun. And beautiful. The St Louis Zoo also has a beautifully restored carousel that we rode last summer. In an era of fast-paced, interactive video games, it is good to enjoy the slower pace of simply going up and down, and around and around. But the Butterfly Garden is what surprised me the most. I really enjoyed it! And Isabella was in her very own Heaven. (I LOVE the picture of her studying the brochure.) Lisi, however, was ready to go as soon as we got there, and Paige did not like the thought that a butterfly might land on her...and there were hundreds of butterflies fluttering around. Wish I had a picture of Paige trying to duck every time she saw a butterfly coming at her. Thankfully she got more brave and did have a good time. She and Iz even posed in front of the GIANT butterfly sculpture outside.
