Marine Week in St. Louis

This week the City of St. Louis partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps to showcase the unique characteristics of America's Corps through a ton of displays, functions and special events. Today, Uncle Todd and Aunt Laura took Andrew downtown to see what it was all about. Andrew had a GREAT time and didn't stop talking about the day all week long. THANKS Uncle Todd and Aunt Laura for occupying Andrew while Nathan had two therapy sessions this morning (AND for all of the great pics)!!


Honoring the Corps' mission and the sacrifices that have been made around the world to protect our freedom and way of life...

Checking out an aircraft (I am not going to act like I know what kind it is)



Checking out the HIGH river - can't cross the yellow tape!!

Checking out some sort of artillery.

Aiming a .50 cal sniper rifle...

... and it didn't take long for Andrew to do it himself - SCARY!!

Aunt Laura and Andrew leaving another aircraft (again, don't know what kind).

Our beautiful Gateway to the Midwest!!
