Before heading to the friendship visit we ate at the breakfast buffet at the Hilton. Jesse’s aunt sponsored the breakfast which was very generous of her seeing that it was very expensive. Our friendship visit was at a local park with the St. Louis Arc and St. Louis Society. We played human basketball, washers, whiffle ball, and some board games. Karen and I got to know each other really well, she lives on her own and is in a wheelchair. Her and I played lawn basketball and had a great time even though it was very warm out. They provided a subway lunch and soon after a bunch of us headed to a bike shop for some repairs.
This evenings dinner was put on by Jay’s family, they had about 50 people at their lovely home and served a catered dinner. Jay’s our project manager and his family has deeply embraced Push America and the Journey of Hope. It was inspiring talking to his dad and mom about what the Journey means to them and how much time they have become involved in it. I love hearing about stories like these, they get me excit
ed to support great organizations in Push America in the future.After a wonderful visit at the Holley’s house we had some down time. There was a free outdoor concert only 6 blocks from us that just so happened to be a band I really enjoy known as One Republic. Dan, Max, and I headed to the concert and caught the last end of it. Afterwards was a one of the best firework shows I have ever seen!
Tomorrow we will be entering the state of Illinois! I
cant wait!
