The St. Louis Tea Party ~ A Way for over 1000 to Say ENOUGH!

Today, my kids and I drove to St Louis to participate in the National Tea Party. It was a cold, windy, cloudy day... and sooooooooo awesome!! The tea party was only planned a few days ago. Media predicted a turn-out of 50-100. But, despite it being a work day, and super short notice, and almost no media coverage... approximately 1500 people from the area had a tea party on the steps of the Arch.
I took a lot of photos... but they can not begin to capture what the day was like. After a big turnout, holding signs along the road, signing a petition, listening to some speakers, we finished the event by dumping some tea into the Mississippi River. Not surprisingly, this was my kids favorite part. Anyway... I may talk more about my experience later but for now..
how about some photos?
(No this cutey is not mine... there were so many children of all ages at the protest... as well as college students, working men and women taking time off, and retired individuals. All concerned with our nation's future.)

In case you haven't figured it out.. these two are mine!!! And here they are carefully dumping tea into the Mississippi.
