A Visit from the Ricky Riveras

Joe’s brother, Ricky along with his wife, April, and little girl, Ella, came to visit us this weekend. They are always so much fun to see and we had a great time with them. I think the best part of the trip was our visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, one of my all-time favorite St. Louis spots. It was great weather and we got to enjoy some of the main garden areas as well as the fun Children’s Garden.

Ella made a sweet ladybug and danced around the flowers:

Hard work climbing to the top!

Victory!
