Six Flags

Many of you look forward to this day every year! We had unbelievably nice weather and enjoyed games, rides, entertainment and food of course.











These swings are no joke. Wait 'till you see how high they go. Keep scrolling....






Um, see the clouds?!!!!

Holli and Val

We had very special visitors last weekend - two Alpacas named Holli and Val and their caretakers Bill and Michelle. They brought smiles to everyone! Learn more about Holli at Hollys-hope.com (click right on it).






Holli meets animal lover Joyce S.








Holli's caretaker Michelle shows us teddy bears made from Alpaca fur. She patiently answered our many many questions!

Val shares a hug with Stacy L.



Terri W. and Val - notice Val is in a lot of these pictures because Holli was quite busy munching on Emmaus' clover!

The Mighty Mississippi

One hour cruises on the river are available every day at the Gateway Arch.

Call 1-877-982-1410 for more information.


The river was about 24ft higher than normal....all the way up to the sidewalk!

Next time you see me with a camera make sure I have the date set right. It was Saturday June 4th. Important lesson we learned: If you can't get to this dock from the Landing because of high water, take S. Broadway to Chouteau and you can pull right up to drop off passengers and ask for a handicap sticker to even park right here.



Ahhh, Air Conditioning! Stacee, Tonya, Millie L. and Terri W. are cruising down the Mississippi.
