Our trip to St. Louis wasn't just to see the Arch, but to hang out with some of my friends from Saint Mary's. We stayed with Chris and Marissa and their kids. Kathleen, Scott and their kids from Fishers IN came too! It was a nonstop party.
The first morning in, the kids were all up bright and early watching some Saturday morning cartoons.
Back in the kitchen, Chris was whipping up a yummy breakfast. After we all ate our fill, we headed out to Grant's Farm.
This was a property that was owned by Grant himself. The fence around the property was made out of gun barrels from the Civil War. Inside the fence, there were lots of animals roaming free like these Texas longhorn cattle and American Bison.
Of course, they don't let you want among the longhorns. You ride a tram. That was pretty fun for all the kids. And the big kids.
This was Grant's home. It was a pretty big place for its time.
Part of our crew enjoying the tram ride.
There was lots to do when you got off the tram. And for just $5 per kid, you could do it all! So we started out with our bottles to feed the baby goats. We Taller women love the baby goats. But as you entered the fencing, you had to hold your bottle up high because the goats would climb you to eat!
Annalise get to feed two greedy goats at once.
Evie found a hungry pair. We were ready to take at least one home with us, but dad wouldn't let us.
After a fun ride on the merry go round, we stopped to visit these giant turtles. Most of those humans were in our group.
It was a pretty hot day, but the farm had a sprinkler tunnel you could run through to cool off. All the kids got nice and wet and cool.
Then it was time for a break in the beer garden (or Biergarten if you are mom and dads). The kids enjoyed their snow cones while the parents knocked back a few of the completmentary beers. Thanks again, Budwieser and your family of beers!
Now that's the look of some happy kiddos.
Here's a shot of all the kids in our group: Mike, Carter, Andy, Evie, McKenna holding Amanda, Annalise, and Campbell.
What's a beer garden without polka? With a little sugar to burn off, Evie tried to teach McKenna to polka.
Then we took the tram back to the parking area and visited the world famous clydesdales on the way out. We saw a few of the full grown ones, but the ones in these pictures are just babies! And they were huge!!!
They sure were nice horses. I bet they eat a lot. Soon they will be pulling the beer wagon in a commerical during the superbowl.
A quick family shot on the way out. What a fun day! Thanks for hosting us, Chris and marissa!
