Memorial Day Weekend

 

Grandma & Granddad Crisp, Uncle Lane, Trenton and Jenna all came up to spend the long weekend with us for Memorial Day.  It was a fun filled weekend.

We started at Purina Farms.  What another great FREE place for kiddos in St Louis.  We hadn’t been yet, and were pleasantly surprised at all the fun stuff to do there.  We’ll definitely be going back lots!

It took some coercion to get the boys out of the ‘corn tables’.  I think they could have played there forever.

There’s a barn loft area just right for pedal tractors.  Of course, neither of our boys can pedal yet, but they tried all the different models on for size!

Cows, horses and pigs filled the barn.

Will even got to milk a cow, for real!  He didn’t have a clue what he was doing, or I don’t think he would have gotten near it.  He just stumbled into the area where other kids were waiting in line to milk the cow.  The gentleman in charge just swooped him up and put him right in there.  Thankfully none of the waiting kids were too annoyed.

Trenton and Jenna enjoyed showing Will how to catch those little piggies, they were pretty cute.

I tried to get Will to stand right next to the tractor wheel, but no go!

Before we left, we rode the tractor wagon ride, it was a good way to see the entire farm.  We also watched a dog show and saw lots of dogs and cats.

The Zoo was on the agenda the next day, but Dada was on his own there, as Mama had to go teach Sunday School, so not many good pics from there.

On Sunday evening we headed to the pool.  Max just loves to sit and splash.

Will was timid at first but soon got the hang of the water slide…by the end of the summer, he’ll be a pro!
