St Louis Day 2

Our second day in St. Louis we headed to Grant's Farm!! It was all decked out for Halloween which made the experience so much more FUN!!

Emery wasn't really into picture taking that morning....She wasn't so sure about all the "scary" decorations that were everywhere. 

Love my babies!!

We got on the tram to ride around and look at the animals rooming around!

Swans! They were so pretty!!! 

Mr. Grants home back in the day!! 

ugh!! It started getting STINKY!!! 

Here's why! Cows!! LOL

Some of them were so close you could almost reach out and touch them!! 

Made it to the farm!! Such a beautiful place!!

Our first stop was feeding the goats! They gave you little bottles of milk to feed them. We were told by some people in line that the goats will jump on you and knock you down for the milk. If you look close in the pic below you can see a kid laying on the ground! We decided to stay OUTSIDE of the fence and feed the goats! So glad we did!! Even on the outside they were pretty aggressive!

It was so fun to feed them even if they were crazy about that milk!! 

Max was ALL about the decorations! He wanted his picture made with everything! Love this one below! He was acting scared!! Ha!

Emery wanted a picture with the witch! She is ALL about some black cats and witches this year!

Silly boy!!

We went to a really COOL bird show! Notice the parrot below is on ROLLER SKATES! 

And some of these birds were so CLOSE to us!! So neat!!

Learned a few things about birds that day!!

We went to the elephant show! I had no idea how SMART elephants are!! Below he is walking on his "balance beam"!

Showing his teeth and the lady is throwing him a carrot! 

Snow cones!! They had a little punch card for the kids for $5 bucks. It included two goat feedings, a snow cone and a carousel ride! Great deal!! Especially since all it was to get in was $12 bucks to park! It was a rather inexpensive day of fun!!

Feeding the Llamas!! They were so friendly!! Max and Emery were FULL of giggles while we were doing this! Love it!

Emery's favorite part of the day! This girl LOVES her some carousel rides!!

Little Ms Giggle box!!

Grabbed a snack on the way out to go see the Clydesdales! Homemade chips!! They were DELICIOUS!!

Oh my...the Clydesdales were so BEAUTIFUL and so BIG!! 

We ended up staying at the farm for 4-5 hours! I think we got to see everything! Then we headed back to the hotel to get rest a little and get changed to head back out for some fun! We went out to the mall in St. Louis to take Emery to the American Girl store!! Her FIRST time!!

She was just a little EXCITED!! So sweet!

Baby Isabella went along with us! Kids were in awe of the store!!

Emery wanted EVERYTHING!! But she finally decided on the little bitty baby doctor kit she is playing with above ;)

She had a BLAST playing with all the toys and DID NOT want to leave!! Lots of things added to her Christmas list when we left out of there! 

We walked around the mall for a while and had to hit some sports stores for Max. He didn't really find anything he wanted so we opted to run by Target on the way home. Max got the Angry Birds race track he has been wanting. Score! Two happy kiddos ;) Back to the hotel for more COOKIES and milk! Oh yes mam we took full advantage each night of our trip. And we met some really nice families that had small kids the night before so each night the kids would play and hang out while we had our treat! Such a blessing!! Afterwards we headed up to the room to get a little play on with our new toys! All in all a WONDERFUL day jammed packed of FUN!
