Flag football is played in the drizzle. Flag football is watched in the rain, except for grandparents who park very close by and watch from the comfort of the pick up!
Zade's team lost, but he didn't care. I think it is a sign of a good team when the team members had a great time, whether it was a win or lose. The members switch around and play all positions.
We left immediately at the end of the game, heading to St. Charles, MO.
Arrangements had been made by Paul (Glen's only and youngest brother) and wife Pam to meet on Main Street in St. Charles.
This was the first time Glen and I had been in St. Charles. I had forgotten that it was the first capitol of Missouri (for four years). The city has done a very good job of promotion and welcoming visitors.
Tonight there was a "Pumpkin Glow" celebration along the historical south end of Main Street. There were many people walking along the sidewalks. The first restaurant where we stopped had a two and half hour wait to be seated! Too hungry for that wait.
We enjoyed patio seating at "The Old Millstream" Inn and Restaurant.
Another promotion is "CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS" WHERE THE MAGIC BEGINS, November 27 to December 24, 2015.
"This annual month long festival celebrates the best of the holiday season. From the boisterous cheer of our legendary Christmas figures and joyful singing of our harmonious carolers, to the unique shopping and dining opportunities found along the festively decorated brick lined streets, Christmas Traditions offers something special for everyone." excerpt from the 2015 Festival Guide.
Paul and Rachel are two of the "legendary Christmas figures" of the celebration. Paul assumes the role of "Scrooge", and Rachel is an "elf" that assists Santa. Paul strolls the streets in character and costume and greets the thousands that visit.
It is always great to see family!
