You can only take your kids to the Magic House or the City Museum so many times before you might have to start looking for something else to keep them occupied on the weekends. Fortunately for all you parents in St. Louis, you're in luck this Saturday, because it's time for the annual Baby Kid Expo.

Date: Saturday, March 7
Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where: St. Charles Convention Center
Cost: Adults are $2, but kids and parking are FREE

If you have kids (or are about to), you'll find everything from diaper cakes to child photographers to kid's accessories at this huge family function. Besides the mile-long list of vendors, there are tons of fun activities to keep your little ones occupied. The diaper derby and the kids fashion show should be pretty fun to watch, and make sure you bring a sock so they can make their own sock puppet. If your kids are a little bit older, they can practice with the Rascals or compete in the Wii bowling and Guitar Hero contests. Throw in Fredbird and a few clowns, and you have yourselves a nice little Saturday right here in your own backyard.

FYI dads, they didn't forget about you; there is a Dad's Sports Lounge available for your entertainment, and it comes complete with couches and a flat screen TV.
