St. Louis Visit

We spent a long weekend in St. Louis visiting the Ferners.  The kids are still exhausted from all the sun and swimming, plus staying up too late with Grandma.  Joe and I are still recovering from the gooey butter cake.

We spent one day visiting Purina Farms.  The kids practiced driving tractors before we checked out the animals.

Snack time


Ready for the tractor tour


Ian got to help milk a cow.


We also saw the dog show with some frisbee-catching dives.


The kids liked the pool the best, even though the water was pretty cold. By the end of the trip Mia was swimming with a noodle all by herself!






Ian made a friend.


Glow balloons and lightning bugs were favorite evening activities.


Before we left on Monday, Janet took Ian to the lake for some fishing.  Ian caught his first bluegill!
