Grants Farm

Yesterday after our picnic we headed to Grant's Farm. It is the original homestead of Ulysses S. Grant and was purchased by the Busch Family and is now open to the public. It holds some of the Budweiser Stallions and mares as well as some other animals. Here are some of the pictures we took. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the horses the most!! These two wanted out, they were very cute standing there looking out.
Here are some mares with babies, there are two babies but one was hiding and all you can see is his legs.
This is Carter, one of the stallions. He was very sweet and calm. On our way out he came over and visited with us.
Sleepy camel.
This was a cute little fox.
I want one of these!!! So beautiful.
Monster Turtle! Right before this picture there were a bunch of kids petting him/her!
Anthony and I dubbed this the ungroomed cocker spaniel of the chicken world! She was super cute, are really busy!
I loved this chicken! I think I want one of these when I get chickens!
When you first get to the farm they have you get on a tram and you ride through the deer and other exotic animal pasture. Isn't he cute?
We had a great time here too! Oh and the best part there was free beer at the end of the park! People in St. Louis sure drink a lot!
