Aunt Irene gets St. Louis Tour! | Grandma’s Stories

Jul 21st Aunt Irene gets St. Louis Tour!

Aunt Irene is celebrating with her niece, Mary Ellen, who is taking these pictures – also doing the driving. In the above pictures, with Aunt Irene is Mrs. Ralph (Cathy) Stanley and her five (5) children. The girls names are Denise and Diane – the oldest boy Ralph and the other two – I would have to check my Christmas card list? Also, my son, Lee Jr. with the Pirate’s Hat and sword. Baby Al is on his way – but that will be a few months away?

Since, Aunt Irene lived in the South Saint Louis area, we probally started our “TOUR” by stopping at one of the South St.Louis Gardens – then to the Forest Park area where we stopped at the St.Louis ZOO to see their show that they have for the children – then to see the “BEARS” as we do have pictures that were taken there , and also to the “FEEDING THE ANIMALS” area – that allows small children for a small price have a milk jug to feed the “baby” animals. Have some pictures of the kids doing the feeding and it is a good thing – that I took “MOVIE” pictures to see forever!

When we would drive up to Saint Louis, from Ft.Lauderdale, Florida – we would stay at least a month and enjoy visiting with all the family – it was possible since my husband’s oldest son, Tom Aldrich – under the guidance of his Uncle Al Aldrich, was able to take care of the restaurants, while we were visiting family and renewing friendships!
