Trip to the Farm

One of Kelly's high school friends owns a hunting farm outside of St Louis. We were fortunate enough to be invited to this beautiful place on Saturday and stayed over for one night.

The farm is 500 acres in size, has a 1 acre man-made lake and was built without using 1 nail. It's perfectly designed for the land, overlooking the lake and forests. Hunting is definitely priority number one and most of the limited number of crops growing were for the deer/turkeys.

Here are some pictures from the 2 days: http://picasaweb.google.com/rstrauss/20071124CondieFarmInStLouis.

Thanksgiving in St Louis

TheStrausses.com spent Thanksgiving in St Louis this past weekend. Tons of turkey were consumed (2 full meals to cover both sides of Kelly's family) and good times were had.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so was unable to take any pictures on Thursday. Here are some pictures from the following day: http://picasaweb.google.com/rstrauss/20071123ThanksgivingInStLouis.

At The Park

TheStrausses.com visited the park yesterday right down the street. It was a crystal clear blue sky day and the temperatures were crisp. Good times!

Halloween in St Louis

Here are some pictures from Halloween in St. Louis. Ashley went trick-or-treating with Cousin Eddy and had a great time. They dressed up as a "pumpkin patch". So cute.
