4th of July

Craig and I decided to hit the boat for the holiday weekend. We met up with our good friends Jared and Jamie Nixon and drove to St. Louis. We stayed at the Westport Sheraton, which was pretty nice. The actually rooms were just okay but it was located in a little shopping center with a few restaurants, a coldstone creamery (yum), a dance club, a comedy place, and lots more. I like places like that. We went to the Ameristar casino and gambled for a little while and then Jared headed off for his nursing test, which he passed. yay! I first won $60 on a Monopoly slot machine. Craid won a bunch on roulette. I then won $300 on a 5 cent wizard of oz slot machine, wahoo! When Jared got back we went to Harrah's to eat dinner and gamble some more. We ate dinner at this Italian joint in the casino, which I hear is also on The Hill in St. Louis. I had veal parmigian with a side of pasta. My meal was $30,yikes! It was a very nice atmosphere, the waitress kept organizing my silverware, and I kept unorganizing it just to see if she would come back and organize it again, sure enough, she did. haha! Dinner was pricey, but worth the experience. After dinner we gambled some more, I learned to play 3 card poker, so fun, and let it ride. I did not like, nor get this game. Craig won a couple hundred on 3 card poker, and I lost $100. OUch! All together we brought home twice what we took. I call that success. Last night Craig and I went to see Eclipse, it was ok. I still liked the first movie best. We walked up to the park to watch the fireworks and got bit up a little from mosquitos. We had pretty perfect seats though. I don't think baby Hendry liked the noise, because when we got home and laid down for bed he was in a weird position and then didn't stop moving for about 30-40 minutes. It was the first time I felt him at the top of my belly. When I felt my stomach it was a hard roll at the top, like a leg or arm or something. Craig and I felt and watched him for a while, but then he burried himself back down by my bladder (his usual spot). We watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and then finally around 1 went to sleep. Very fun, very busy weekend. Have our ultrasound tomorrow, yay!
