Hannah, Asher's birthmom came out to visit a couple of days ago, she spent a few hours with us and Asher. We really enjoyed her visit.
Rachel has enjoyed having so many friends around over the last few weeks, she's really gotten a chance to show off.
She also really loves to be a big sister to Asher, she always wants to hold him and loves to cuddle with him in her bed.
We went down to the Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis for the 4th of July fireworks on Saturday. We spent most of the day there by the Mississippi River and had a lot of fun with friends.
The firefighters were out spraying down kids and a bunch of the local attractions like the zoo had booths where the kids could go and do free little activities like making the hats Rachel and the other girls are wearing.
Asher gets serious when you try to take away his food.
There was an airshow, which Asher did not like, but it was pretty cool. They had a bunch of old fighter jets and the only privately owned Harrier Fighter Jet in the world. The Harrier does a vertical take off, and while it was there it did a slow rotation pattern where it hovered like a helicopter.
These guys put on a pretty cool show.
Asher chillin' like a villain.
Just before the fireworks.
Asher and his old man gumpa face..
