Welcome Home the Heroes Parade

My mom and I went downtown St Louis for the Welcome Home the Heroes Parade and as our hands and feet were froze, so did our tears. It was emotional and heartwarming to welcome home post 9/11 troops who serviced our country.

Week 49 ~ Branson Part III ~ T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Since I missed last week because of a nasty migraine, I decided (with a little persuasion) to post 2 entires this week. I am wrapping up our fun girls weekend to Branson with miscellaneous photos. 

We stopped at Lamberts for lunch and of course, ate WAY too much!

 Hahaha I think I might have seen these in Granite..

 We went through the Festival of Lights, I am still learning how to take great night photos.

 

 We soon began to realize Branson is a perverted city! Everywhere we went there was persuasion, we were laughing so hard and it became a game to point out everything!
