The whole family went to St. Louis on the 4th of July. The boys went to see the Cardinals play and the ladies went to The American Girl Store.
I was a little bit happy.
We started with tea in the bistro.
The food was surprisingly tasty.
Mother bought the girls a new doll that just recently debuted.
My dear mother brought my beloved Samantha to the outing. I sent her straight to the hair salon to get her hair done. Now I believe Samantha is about 28 years old. I think I got her when I was nine.
Her hair was looking rough.
$10 later her hair was a lot better.
Mother bought her a new dress and sent her home with me. She's still trying to redeem herself from the big Christmas mistake of '89. She bought me the entire tea set for Samantha, including her wicker furniture. She apparently set it all up in my room and then couldn't justify the cost so she sent it all back.
I never truly recovered until this very lovely day when all was right with the world and I gave my most special doll to my own most special girl.
Mother also bought her shoes. She was barefoot in public, for Lord's sake.
G donned her patriotic shades for the 4th.
The girls also rode the double carousel at the mall.
We then played all evening in the room before meeting up with the boys at a locally-owned, very unique dinner spot called The Cheesecake Factory. I do love to support local businesses.
Oh, I really do, but this was really the most convenient.
We departed the next morning with our dolls and headed for 3 nights at Big Cedar Lodge!
