My kids were not out of school 2 days and they were complaining they were bored. Now my kids are teens and I thought what am I going to do with them. I decided to compile a list of FREE attractions in the ST. LOUIS area. From that list I checked off every attraction we have been to. We had not been to the MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM, THE MUNY or CITYGARDEN. My tweens were not at all excited when I told them we were going to these attractions. I asked them to just give it a chance. We have gone to the MISSOURI HISTORY MUSEUM and CITYGARDEN. What great places. The tweens like the attractios as well. They enjoyed it so much, they asked if we could go to the ST. LOUIS ZOO and ST. LOUIS SCIENCE CENTER.
Look for my blog on information on Fair St. Louis 2011.
