Happy Birthday America





























Another family tradition...
we try to always go and watch
the VP (Veiled Prophet)Parade,
a St Louis Tradition (it's 131st).
It was delayed for the heat thunder storms that started last night...
But when the parade was to start the rain stopped--
Thank Goodness!
Loud Bands, lots of Princesses, big Balloons,
Shriner clowns, Floats, dancers, beads,
candy and baseball. And of coarse...FIREWORKS !



The Cardinal mascot, FREDBIRD was Grand Marshall,
he is 30 yrs old this year, and it probably had to do with the
All Star Events in the coming weeks !

After the parade we walked to the Arch grounds
and Lil Orchid got to make her very own Yankee Doodle Hat.
Hope Everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July !!








WE DID.

Oh the All Star festivities. I am jealous. Wish I could come up with the funds for a visit!!! No when we make it I dont want anything to distract us from having a nice time with our STL family.
