This weekend we saw another (very) lifelike Bison. But that's not the most exciting thing about this post. 

The most exciting thing was that my sister Tara came to visit us for the weekend, en route to her family in Miami.
Tara surprised us with her genteel tastes. We saw a FREE Shakespeare play, Othello, in Forest Park. St. Louis Shakespeare festival may not quite be up to Utah Shakespeare Festival's standards, but you sure can't beat the price!
We also saw the Arch up close and personal. But not too close or personal because it was a 2-hour wait to ride to the top and back.  It was a little swarming with people, being Memorial Day weekend and all.  We still had lots of fun though!
As you can see in the photo above and the photo below, we appreciated the fine art of Citygarden.
 
Charles even got in on the fun
One of the great things about visiting places with a friend (and relative in this case) is that you don't have to awkwardly ask people to take pictures of you every 5 minutes
This one would have been especially awkward if we'd asked a random person to take it for us.  Thanks, Tara!
But really, the best part of having Tara visit was seeing her interact with Baby Charles
He sure loves his aunt Tara!

Well, I think we got most of the grass out of his mouth . . . but he sure liked whatever stayed in . . . ;)
