Sup blog!
This is Eva :) Apologies for our delay, we've been zooming.
St. Louis was a delightful blend of teaching, exploration and connection with loved ones!
Here’s a recap of St. Louis through pictures:
Cool sign we saw on the way to the airport to pick up Will!
My family made sure we had a scrumptious dinner waiting for us at the airbnb!
We played endless rounds of Brawl Stars with my younger brother and little cousin!
Us eating dinner! (we eat a lot)
Cake that my little cousin made for us to celebrate our progress!
The next morning Will and I explored WashU!

Then, we visited Forest Park! It was sooooooo hot.
We explored the St. Louis Art Museum.
I was so excited to see Degas's famous sculpture, The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer, because of this!
Then, we all met up at The Loop (aka a hip street where cool kids go). Ethan and I shared a scrumptious poke bowl and Kawther got her insomnia cookie!
The Loop had many cute shops, including this bookstore that we stayed at for over an hour engrossed in various books. #nerds
Hello famous Arch!
This is what we would’ve looked like inside the Arch!
Below the Arch existed an awesome museum!
We also made sure to stop by the Mississippi River and debated over the possible consequences of touching the water.
The next morning we taught 86 campers at the South City Family YMCA!
Tubb (or “bathtub” as the kids like to say) demonstrating a chemical reaction with chalk rockets.
Campers making slime while learning about psychology!
Hunter’s big elephant toothpaste reveal!
My strawberry DNA workshop with very young scientists!
All the campers were so sweet and engaged!
Campers solving Ethan’s escape room to land a spaceship.
Tubb prepping young campers for rocket making.
After a full day of teaching at the YMCA, we stopped by Boys Hope Girls Hope of St. Louis and did a Q & A college panel with scholars in middle and high school!
Lastly, we had an amazing dinner with my family friends.
For my first time in St. Louis, I had a blast! Spending time with family made the trip even more special :)
Peace,
