Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Saint Louis, Missouri

2009 Holiday

No visit to Saint Louis would be complete without taking in a lovely park on a Sunday afternoon. All of our Son's Saint Louis Family and Friends gathered to help celebrate his Birthday. We played washers (a Saint Louis game much like horse shoes) as we waited for the Band Concert.

Here you see the Flower Child and his Son as they compete in the game of Washers. The device you see off of the left foot of my son is the target. The washer must land in the outer area for a score of one and if you put the washer in the inner cup your team scores three. Game is twenty-one points.
Saint Louis has neighborhood parks and this one also has several miles of walking/biking trails which anyone can enjoy. This lake was extremely refreshing on a hot Sunday afternoon. During the Band Concert we enjoyed fried chicken from a Hodak's which is a local favorite for great food.

Of course you can learn more about them here: http://www.hodaks.com/

A grand Sunday afternoon in the Park and the Band Concert was very enjoyable. I would estimate that about 500 showed up for the Concert.
