We are so lucky to live close to St. Louis and all of the fun things it has to offer:) The weekend before I was supposed to go back to school, the weather was BEAUTIFUL-especially after this HOT summer-so we decided to take advantage and head out to Grant's Farm.
For those of you who do not know, Grant's Farm was the home of Ulysses Grant-18th President of the United States-after the Civil War(sorry about my history teacher dorkiness here)-and has been owned for quite some time by the Busch family. The operate a small "zoo"-for lack of a better word-out of the farm-and it is home to the majority of their Clydesdale horses:) Even better-once you pay to park, it is totally free! But Mia's favorite thing about it, was that you can actually pet most of the animals and she just LOVED that! She is still talking about petting the horses, donkey, camel, and getting to feed the goats a bottle:) By the way, Shane's favorite part-since it's owned by the Busch family-that's right-was that you get free beer samples-Oh, Shane:):) All in all-a GREAT day for the Hannah family!
We parked out by the Clydesdales....and they were so sweet:) Mia even got to pet them!
Waiting to ride the tram into Grant's Farm-instead of walking in, everyone rides the tram around the farm. It is really cool because you get to see the whole farm and all kinds of animals! Mia loved it!
Petting the donkey-which she is now obssessed with:)
Camel time...
Last stop of the day-feeding the goats the milk bottles:) Too fun!
