Go Cards!

It really was a great weekend staying in Edwardsville for once. It seems like we have traveling non stop this summer! It started off on Friday night by Mark taking me out on a date. And yes without Madison, even though her name was brought up a lot. Her Uncle Patrick and Aunt Sarah did a great job of watching her! We went and ate on The Hill in St. Louis at a restaurant called Zia's. It was great italian food. Then we headed to the Schlafly Tap Room for some beers. Oddly enough they had a beer called "Keller", and of course we had to try it. We then decided to gamble a little, but on the way to Lumiere the traffic had picked up and we realized the Cardinal game had let out and we figured it would take forever to get a table. So we just decided to head home and pick up our little girl.

On Saturday we took a walk up to the Farmers Market here in Edwardsville. We hadn't been all year and decided a watermelon was a good choice. We finally cut it up tonight and it was pretty good. Then Saturday afternoon we took Madison for a ride on the bike. She really enjoyed it, but the helmet not so much! She got use to it after a while. We had to keep stopping to pull the helmet up over her eyes. We have got some adjusting to do!

On Sunday we went to the Cardinals game. It really was a lot of fun and Madison did great! I was a little disappointed Madison didn't get to meet Fred Bird. Oh well, there's always next time!! Thanks mom for the tickets. The seats were great and they won!!

All of us in our Cardinal gear! Go cards!!
I had to take a picture of Mark and Madison by the All Star Game sign.
Maddie and her Daddy.
We bought Madison ice cream in a souvenir cup. That kept her busy for a while! And she loved having ice cream for the first time.

Here are some pictures from the bike ride!

Mark testing it out for the first time.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Keller for my bike seat and helmet!!!!
