Shawn Smith’s web ninja life

Many have asked, ‘just what were you doing in St. Louis?” last weekend. Believe me, we weren’t taking a 12 hour trip through the Midwest to just visit St. Louis’ awesome City Museum.

Nay.

The real reason was to attend my younger cousin’s wedding! Here comes the bride!

The wedding was certainly very nice and the weather cooperated. Shortly after the ceremony, the newlyweds and the wedding party scooted off on golf carts for the photos. Meanwhile, we headed to the reception.

Just after dinner the dancing started. Sorry that you won’t see much of me dancing. After getting up at 5 a.m. and working the day of our 12-hour drive, followed by a day at the City Museum, I couldn’t do much to stay awake into the night’s hours. But you will see my mom cutting it up!

Check out more photos and videos from my cousin’s wedding in Missouri.

We have! Kyle, Amanda, Nikki and I let out our inner-children at the St. Louis City Museum, every kids dream jungle gym. This place is nuts! See Shawn, Nikki, Kyle and Amanda’s photos and videos from the City Museum

And here I am climbing through some of the stuff

For some reason, Flickr couldn’t process a couple of my videos, so here’s a couple interesting ones. Me climbing through a plane!

And here’s me and the crew climbing through a tunnel in a hollow tree:

There’s a ton more awesome videos to see, check out shawn smith’s photos and videos from the City  Museum.

The Keech Street crew arrived in O’Fallon, Missouri last night at about 1 a.m. EST – and we left Ann Arbor, Michigan 12 hours earlier! A trip should have only taken 8 hours, but I-94 was closed at the Chicago Skyway, forcing us to take the skyway. From there we sat in Chicago traffic trying to find our way back to I-55 and then I-70 to get into St. Louis.

Needless to say, we added about 4 hours to our drive with this little detour. But we made it. Here we are for our cousin’s wedding:
