A beach in St. Louis?

Indeed! There is a beach in St. Louis! And it's a 3 minute drive from my house. Ok, so the water isn't blue or crystal clear, but there's sand and water and peace and quiet and I'll take it! I picked up some pretty, large shells too. Nash was happy to get his feet wet and look at the little fishies, Margot got to dig her little toes in the sand, and I got to be with my two kids next to the water, in the sunshine, and be grateful for everything we have.
