See ya next year!

Well, Kamp Klimczak is done for the summer.  We had a GREAT time with the boys... and they left me with some adorable nano-block critters on my mantle. 

Clint made the guitar, dolphin and flamingo.  Conrad made the cat and the amplifier for the guitar.  They are adorable!

I miss them already... Agnesi keeps wandering around the house looking for them.
Hugs to all,

Aunt Aimee

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

Tonight's fun was a Cardinals baseball game!  We played the Boston Red Sox.  We got there early and visited with the Clydesdales and other animals that were on display...

 Our seats were awesome... but we didn't catch a foul ball.

The fingers were a big hit... and it didn't take Clint long to tease Conrad with his...
There was a game set up for kids... shoot the dart and hit a certain spot to win a pair of sunglasses.  Well, we went through the line once... no one hit.  Then, the second time through Clint hit!  And, yes, the third time through Conrad hit!  Whew! 
Then there was a one hour rain delay.  We didn't mind much... our seats were in a covered area of the park and we had lots of ball park food to occupy us!  But we sure were happy when we saw them remove the tarp from the field!
We sent a great selfie to #cardsfangram  It will probably be displayed on the big screen at the stadium!
We stayed for the 7th Inning Stretch, sang "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" and then came home... only to find out the Cards lost.  I guess we shouldn't have left.  Sorry, Cards.

Good night,

Aimee

More Flags. More Fun.

Tuesday was SIX FLAGS day at Kamp Klimczak! 
Clint was our Human GPS!  He lead us all around the park and was an excellent navigator!

Conrad was obsessed with the Batman Ride and the Ninja.  Both are roller coasters.  He even drug me on the Ninja and you can ask me privately about that experience... it weren't pretty.


Clint drug me on Mr. Freeze... yep, here we are on the ride... it goes 80mph down... seriously... they are trying to kill me.  Then he MADE Conrad ride it... and after that Conrad was hooked on another roller coaster!  He even rode it by himself when me and Clint said NO MORE!

We did stop to refresh and eat... lots of junk food!  (that's the fun of Six Flags!)


I honestly don't know the name of this ride... but they are on it!  Crazy Kids!

And, they spent a fair amount of time in the arcade...

And of course I made the boys pose with Tweety Bird!
Yep, another great day... we were there when the park opened and stayed till the park closed.  And, we wore plenty of sun screen and drank plenty of water. 

Today (Wednesday) we have tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals game... GO CARDS!

Hugs,

Aimee

Movies and Rockets and the Arch... Oh My!

Another great day at Kamp Klimczak!  The boys started out at a 3D movie... Guardians of the Galaxy.  Can you spot the two new guardians in the photo?

Then we went to the top of the Gateway Arch!  Of course, I made them pose for a few photos first...


Then we went up to the top!



St Louis is celebrating its 250th birthday... so they posed with one of the many birthday cakes around town...

And, finally, they gawked over the rocket that Uncle Craig is preparing for launch on Labor Day weekend (at AirFest in Kansas).


Yep, another great day at Kamp Klimczak!

Hugs,

Aunt Aimee

The MUNY and MORE!

We spent the evening in Forest Park!  First we went for dinner at The Boathouse.  There was an hour wait, so we passed the time on the paddleboats.  Clint and Conrad pedaled me around the lake... it was glorious!

We had a lovely dinner... Craig and I enjoyed watching the boys feeding the fish and the turtles. Then we walked to the MUNY and the first thing we noticed was a Southwest Airlines photo contest... so here's our entry:
We think we should win... but not sure if we sent it to SWA or not.  The whole "hashtag" thing sort of confuses me... I tried to send it to #MUNYLUVCONTEST and not sure if I got it right.

Grease was fun as always... RYDELL HIGH rules!
Good night,

Aimee

Meet Me In St. Louis!

The boys made it to St. Louis.  First order of business... FOOD!  So, we went to the place that was recently voted "Best Hamburger in St. Louis!"  Five Guys!

Delicious!

Tonight it's dinner at The Boathouse in Forest Park and then GREASE at the MUNY!

Fun times,

Aimee
