st. louie part II: cabin in the woods

Posted on March 11th, 2009 by mountain girl  |  5 Comments »

  Here’s the sweet little cabin we camped out in this weekend while in St. Louis.

   Z-Baby is 19 months today.       We went to the park to celebrate…we just couldn’t pass up 70-degree weather in February!        She had a great time carrying wood chips across the walk        and throwing them into the air.               She found some new friends […]
