The wedding had a Hawaiian theme. My friend Jane did my hair for the wedding; my bear dressed up afterwards with one of the fresh flowers.
The wedding favors were shell necklaces and woven grass fans with the stenciled program attached; a T-rex skeleton replica about to attack the Atlanta airport.
Views from the plane window: clouds, St. Louis arch.
In St. Louis, we visited a wild bird sanctuary where we saw among many other things, peregrine falcons, bald eagles, and an enormous possum.
We also visited Grant's Farm, a hooved wildlife preserve/zoo/promotional park for Anheuser-Busch. Neat place, especially for the price!
The fence is supposedly made from melted-down Civil War rifles; Grant's cabin.
White elk; yaks.
The goat-feeding pen. I've never seen so many pygmy goats!
Stork and geese; giant tortoise.
The camels were quite affectionate, hoping for treats.
An antique painted carnival cart in the carriage barn (home to some of the famous Budweiser Clydesdales); covered bridge exiting the park.
A mantis on the window outside the boarding area at the airport; leaving St. Louis on a hazy evening; arriving in Little Rock.
The next day, I met Mama, Allie, Hannah and Madison for a day at the amusement park/water park. Six hours, and no sunburn! Vigorous re-application of sunscreen really works.
The crew, before entering the park; a creek and the road at a picnic area near Hot Springs.
