Did you know that last Saturday was International Pillow Fight Day? Was it celebrated in your city? It was in quite a few. There was a very small scale version here. It was supposed to start at 3 under the Arch. It was a beautiful spring day and there were plenty of strollers but no groups big enough start a battle. At about 3:15 I began to wander off, thinking, well, another St. Louis poop out.
Then I saw a small group of people near the far leg swinging something. Not a battle but maybe a small skirmish. I found about nine college students, led by Samantha, the smasher in the bottom picture, right of center in the group shot. Most of the combatants were women and they were tough. What they lacked in numbers they made up for with enthusiasm and good-natured violence. Hope there is a bigger donnybrook next year.

En réponse a ton passage sur mon blog, c'etait les pâques orthodoxes mais Russe.
I never contemplated that pillow fights would occur outdoors, or in any competition.
Thank you for your nice comments about our condo. I am glad that your daughter and son in law enjoyed their stay. I hope you are able to plan a trip with them next year, or whenever your schedule will permit.
I really don't think Versailles is that much fun (oops, shouldn't be saying that...)
That's hilarious. Great shots!

I haven't had a pillow fight in days. How fun to go to the park and host a BYOP party.
The group shot is genius, Bob.

What a funny and bloodless sport. Very nice to see it.
This looks like such high spirited fun!
In the last photo, sho really looks like she's whomping on the guy. Take no prisoners attitude. You go, girl!
