Grant's Farm

We went with Scott, Amy, and Hannah to Grant's Farm this weekend. I had never been, so it was fun to try something new, especially since this is a "classic" St. Louis location/activity. And because it's an Anheuser-Busch place, there was free beer!!!!

We started out looking at the Clydesdales, then got on the train. The train goes through a beautiful green area with lakes, lot of trees, and animals roaming around. It deposits you at the main park area, which has a petting zoo, wild birds, eagles, elephants, turtles, horses, etc. It also has the huge biergarten, where we ate lunch and enjoyed a few of the free beers!

All three of us

Here we are on Thanksgiving - I was going to use this picture for our Christmas cards, but ended up going with a different photo. Actually, three different photos, since Kodakgallery lets you do collage-style Christmas cards! Which was great fun, except that this created so many choices that it took hours for me to decide on a christmas card. And the one I decided on finally was the first one I'd created! Of course.
