Don't you love the praise your child gives you every once in a while? Chaselyn turned 6 on November 1st and we made a trip to Saint Louis for the weekend. We arrived at my 2nd cousins house on the Saturday before where she had planned a Fall Fairy Tea Party for the girls. They had such a great time! They went on a garden scavenger hunt, made garden bugs, made fairy wands, ladybug cookies, had an art class on drawing fairies, and finished the day off with a fabulous tea party by candlelight---it was beautiful!! 
The next morning brought Halloween and a fun filled day, went to The Butterfly House at Faust Park and rode the carousel, and played at the amazing playground. We then ventured over to Rombach farm to visit the pumpkin patch this was a pretty cool place and FREE I love that! Lots of great displays and fun things for the kids. We hurried back to get kids in costumes and over to the Fall Festival for games, lots of candy, food, and kettle corn! We finished off the night with an ice cream cone FREE for kids in costume and some of the best frozen custard I have ever tasted. Fritz's I heart thee! They even made Peyton a baby cone it was perfect and she enjoyed it very much!!! Even after all that we had time to trick or treat for a bit, needless to say we were all T-I-R-E-D!!
The next morning Chaselyn was treated to a breakfast fit for a queen with balloons, banners, candles on pancakes, and a special party hat!
We left after the feast and headed to the St. Louis Zoo, this is a beautiful zoo and ummm FREE, we all loved it even though it was cold and cloudy we got to see the monkeys (Chaselyn's favorite) and many more beautiful creatures. We left the zoo and headed over to Fitz's for lunch (not the same as the custard place, isn't that crazy how close the names are though-lol) This was a fun place, good food, and Chaselyn got a Birthday Float! They bottle Root Beer there on site although they were cleaning the machines while we were there, we did enjoy some of the best root beer I have ever tasted in the coldest mug I have ever had Root Beer served it....AMAZING!
We took the kids to the arch and they laid under it, the wind was blowing super fast that day and the arch looked as if it was gonna blow over, Good Times!
We then headed home but made some of those stops on route 66 to see some of the coolest roadside attractions. Chaselyn exclaimed many times how this was the best birthday Evahhhhhh! That makes everything even more special doesn't it???
