Grant's Farm, and One Last Trip Around Stadium

Tuesday was another hot day in St. Louis, so we decided to wander around Grant's Farm, home of the famous Clydesdale horses.

We took the tram to the other side of the Farm known as the Tier Garten. (Ron tells us that's German for zoo. After all the time the Vos' have spent in Germany, we figured he was right!) Trevor has never "in his whole life" been to the zoo, so we kept telling him we were AT the zoo!

This is what the goat thought of us!! As you can see, AJ and Megan loved feeding the goats. The Jensen children....not so much. They were sitting in the shade just watching.

Trevor LOVES turtles! He was so happy to find these guys!


We cooled off (a little!) in The Bauernhof. Bauernhof is German for "farmstead." The kids had some pop and snow-cones. The adults were happy to find more free beer samples!

The Busch family now houses their world famous carriage collection in the carriage house. The stables are housed here, too.

My favorite photo spot at dusk. Still love it!

Ron, Holly, AJ, Megan and Jared went to the wax museum, and the rest of us had dinner and then walked around the stadium. There was a game going on, but there was such an energy even on the outside.

And the boys like to try and see what they can of the game from the outside. It's all part of the experience!

We walked back to our hotel and passed the sign for the Arch. ("Jefferson National Expansion Museum"). When we got back, we went for one last visit to the pool, which was on the roof. You could see the stadium and the Arch from the edge. It was so pretty up there, and once again, my pictures just don't do it justice.

Tomorrow it is time to head home and back to reality! We have been gone for 13 out of the last 22 nights, and it is time to go home. Vacations are fun, and it is so much fun to go, but let's face it....
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!
