Fall Break for Willies

The Concert

DAYGLOW (and Sun Room opening) at the Pageant in St Louis. What a great show! Great venue, super family friendly. We were so gloss to the stage and on an elevated platform so it felt like front row, and the little guys had full visibility. Unforgettable night! 

Dayglow is Sloane’s favorite band. Probably because the lead singer is also named Sloan. A few dayglow songs got me through my commute to Fayetteville when I started school again and a few were happy Thursday Willy dance party songs for us during COVID lockdown days. 

Party animals man. 





The setlist! I love these tiny concert venues. Super intimate and everyone there is so friendly. 

The Zoo! 

St Louis Zoo is just the best! Bear got to see bears, Soren got to see his favorite animal, the rock hopper penguin, Q and Corbin took videos of puffins for mr finch, and we all loved the butterfly house. I discovered the paper kite butterfly and was captivated by its beauty. I think it was a spiritual experience to watch it fly around. They are huge and colorless and the most magical wonderful beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. They aren’t like other butterflies, they are kind of floppy and they don’t land for long! They really do look like a kite soaring around on gusts of wind. Really cool. 

Right before we left the exhibit, one of the paper kites we were tracking abd trying to capture a photo of landed on the woman next to us. So cool 

The Dance 

We made it home just in time for Corbin and Quincy to throw together some consumes for the Halloween tri stake dance in Springdale. They went to Braums with Fancy, Luey, Ethan V, and Gisele after. 

The Movie

We watched Wild Robot with the Hayes on their projector and made smores around the bonfire and got to FaceTime our missionaries (not at the same time lol but it was wonderful to see both Sister Willardson and Elder Hayes)
