Magic House ~ Snow! ~ Illinois

We were able to travel with Robert to Illinois for a preaching appointment this past weekend. On the way Friday, we stopped in St. Louis to eat and take Jeremiah to the Magic House. The Magic House is a children's museum that offers a lot of hands on activities for kids. He had a great time at the exhibits that were age appropriate for him, but it was just a little too crowded. We went on a Friday night that was free and the kids were out of school for snow, so you can only expect it to be a packed place.
This is a picture of our great traveler starting out on his third trip to Illinois.


Jeremiah and dad fishing at the pond in the museum.


Jeremiah showing off what he caught in the pond. He loved
releasing it in the other pond and watching it travel downstream.



He loved the water table!!


The chalk board was a big hit too since he is into writing.


Ok, I have now lost count of how many times my child has seen snow in his lifetime. They received about five inches or more of snow on Thursday before we arrived in town. Robert and I loved seeing all the snow while we traveled to Illinois and back home on Sunday. We tried to get Jeremiah just to play in the snow a little on Saturday afternoon and he refused to even put his foot in it. Robert is hoping that one day Jeremiah will want to play in the snow with him. The church is located in Edwardsville, IL and they received about twelve inches of snow. In my lifetime, that is the first time I have seen that much snow. We were going to take some pictures after church, but it started snowing again and the wind was blowing hard.

Just to show how thick the snow was at the Reynolds' house
