Saturday was a lot of fun; we stayed very busy. Our day began with some major gardening and then onto some squirrel chasing. We have a bird feeder that two squirrels are always trying to eat out of. When we can, we chase them away, which usually works for an hour or two. Well on this particular morning, it was a little more exciting. The squirrel ran to the neighboring tree where we threw balls at it and chased it into a hole in the side of the trunk. At that point, Ryan spayed water in the hole until the squirrel was flushed out. The poor thing was terrified and looked like a drowned rat. It ran across the street to the tree it lived in. We thought surely it won't come back, but a few hours later, it was dry and it was hungry. Here is a picture of the squirrel fighting team.
We then played in the pool for a while. William was our little dare-devil.

After the pool, we went to Union Station in downtown St. Louis where we had dinner.
Kirsten and Claire jumped on the jumpee-thing and had a great time. William tried and was happy running around the trampoline until they put the harness on. Then he started screaming, did a front flip, and ended up screaming on his face. It was pretty funny.

We came home happy and tired.

Looks like you guys had a really fun time. I can't believe those flips and jumps on the trampoline. Squirrels are so stupid. Good luck on your continuing quest to rid your bird feeder of the pests.
Looks like mega fun... I wish I could do flips like that!
