St Louis Jazz festival

Today we went to the St Louis Jazz festival held in Shaw Park, Clayton, St Louis. It was a glorious sunny day and we arrived early enough to get a picnic spot in the shade of some trees.
Hugh spent the entire day running around, clapping at the bands, blowing kisses at the girls and drinking the dregs from our beer bottles!! The last bit was unintentional and thankfully all the beer was gone before he grabbed it from us. Hugh clearly thought everyone was there to entertain him.

Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take in the camera but we have a shot of his airbrushed tattoo and festival ankle band, which every festival goer should have.

A Terrapin

Hugh was really surprised to find a baby Terrapin in the pond when he was feeding the fish.
