Grant's Farm

Last week my mom and I took the kids to Grant's Farm, the first trip of the year! It is like a small version of the Zoo with special history ties to St. Louis. We spent all morning playing, and I think the kids had a great time! Just wanted to share some pictures from our day.

Happy Weekend!

Yesterday we had a busy but super fun day!

We first stopped at my moms work to pick up some coupons and money before heading to Grants Farm. Thanks mom!

Then we headed to Grants Farm to meet some friends. It was a gorgeous fall day, sunny, and in the 70s. Perfect. All the kids had a great time. We feed the goats some milk bottles, seen lots of animals, ate some lunch, had some ice cream, and feed the llamas. Thanks again mom for the coupons and money, we had a blast! Of course though I forgot my camera, crazy I know!

We then headed home to pick up daddy. We decided to take the boys to the park just to be outside in this weather. My dad came out to meet us and see the kids. They played on the playground and then we took a nice long walk on the trail.

We still had to swing by the store for some grocery's, but stopped to have some McDonald's first. It was a long day, and the boys were exhausted. They went right to bed thankfully.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Busy Busy Busy

Whew the past few day have been busy, or at least busy for me! Wednesday we went to Grant's Farm with some friends and ladies from our playgroup. I have been trying to take the kids since last year, and finally a day worked out! It was a gorgeous day out and the kids had a blast! I even got some exercise, we walked 25 minutes to get there, walked around to look at the animals, and then walked 25 minutes back to the car. By the time we made it home, we all needed a nap.












On Thursday we stayed home and relaxed, I tried to get some cleaning done but didn't get very far. I wanted to be lazy!!

Friday Tim was off work and it was his birthday! We didn't get to do anything too exciting or without the kiddos, but had a nice day.

We all went out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, did I ever mention how much the boys can eat! WOW for being only 3 and 1 they sure can eat!

Then we stopped by 2 different bike shops to pick up parts for Tim's dirtbike and my four wheeler. They didn't have all the parts so we had to order some.

Went by Best Buy so Tim could get an ethernet card for his computer since the lightning from the previous week fried it! Yep, you heard that right...the lightning struck right behind our house, SCARY! I hate storms, but that is a whole other post.

Finally we made it to the grocery store, which we have been neglecting for 3 weeks. To say we needed food in the house is an understatement! We decided to go to Wal-Mart this time since we needed a few other non food items. BAD IDEA!!! We left spending way more than we intended to. Isn't that how it always goes?!

We spent the rest of the evening outside. The kids rode bikes and chased each other around, Tim worked on the bike. I watched both events.

Not an exciting day, but a fairly relaxed nice day!

Happy Birthday Tim!
