This weekend we got a surprise visit from Jesse and Lewis Wight our friends from Texas! It was perfect weather this weekend so we were able to go outside and walk around the arch. It is about 2 miles from our apartment so not too complicated to get there. After walking around and playing catch for a bit we went to Pie Pizza (Obama sent the Chef to the white house for an event). It is chicago style pizza, so deep dish and super tasty. The words from Lewis, "This is the best pizza I have ever had!"
We had plans to go to Forest Park and watch the fireworks and decided we would bring Maggie…bad idea. First of our complications, we knew it was going to be horrible traffic so we thought why not ride the Metro? Once we bought our tickets we hear an announcement geared toward us, "No dogs on the Metro!" That was a change in our plans, so Chris and Lewis were wise…and went to the stop before and put Maggie in her carrier and slipped right on the Metro. Sly…The metro was coming from East Saint Louis and I think that may be the last time I ride the metro. On our way back a man started yelling at another older gentleman who was minding his own business lets just say there were several A, B, C, and F's used… I couldn't wait to get out of there.
The next day we wanted to show Lewis and Jesse The City Museum. It is hard to describe but it is basically a huge adult jungle gym made out of random objects. The best part were the slides and the free falling slide. I was a little nervous to go down one particular slide because it went into a black hole. The other little kids behind me were encouraging me saying, "You can do it!" As I dropped down into the abyss, Chris said just before "Just give her a little time, her mom just died riding this slide." Supposedly a little girl started crying.
That night we had tickets to the 311 show. This was a memorable concert, The Urge (a local St. Louis band) opened for 311. The whole time I was wondering PTMFUS was. Then I found out when they stopped playing. Waiting in line for the disgusting portapotties the particular one I was waiting for the one farthest away from all the lines trying to get a somewhat decent one. I saw the red lock turn green and then red again. Chris was with me and we were both like uh nope not ready I guess. So then it finally opened green. A man walks out like no big deal and what do you know a women is in there coming out. Oh that is just lovely, I never saw a portapotty like that… "That johnny on the spot is leaking!" a man yells out. The women from the other bathroom tip toes around the massive puddle as chris joins in the oohs…
The second singer in 311 reminded Chris and I of Lewis Litt from Suits. The man could not dance and his voice sounded like "baby voice" as Chris and I tried to impersonate him. He definitely made the show.
Maggie is all groomed. When we went to pick her up the groomer decided to leave all her hair on top of her head and shave it in a dome. She came out of the room bobbing her fro forward and backward. Needless to say, we thought it would be better to take off the fro…
