August 29th-31st - It was the second annual Labor Day weekend that we spent with the Kreidler's in St. Louis. Paul and I attempted to remove his concrete boulder at the house on Saturday, while the girls and kids went to the zoo. Before heading downtown to the Illinois - Missouri football game, we met up with them at Blueberry Hill in University City. The kids enjoyed waving at the people walking by while we ate. Since the tailgate wasn't as exciting as we thought it might be, Paul and I visited the casino that was nearby to waste some time before the stadium opened. We were about out of our allotted gambling funds when we both hit and we decided to quit while we had money to cash out. I actually was able to double my money that I was gambling with so it wasn't a total loss. The total loss came at the football game where the Illini lost again to a very good Missouri team. Illinois had an early lead and quickly gave it away by allowing a kick-off return for a touchdown on the next play. It looked like they might make a push to get back in the game but a couple of turnovers sealed the deal. Overall it was a great weekend thanks to our gracious hosts!
