Grant's Farm

We took advantage of a great fall day to visit Grant's Farm on Saturday. Grant's Farm is a nature preserve/mini zoo/petting zoo associated with Anheuser-Busch. We took T last year when Diane and Matt were in town, but at 3 months old, he didn't get much out of it. This time, he loved it!

A self-portrait: me and Thomas

Petting goats. T spent most of his time running around the goats, but occasionally stopped to pet them.

And pull their tails.

More petting

While the goats were fun, the highlight of the visit was the elephant. I could not get Thomas away from the elephant area--he threw a fit when I tried to move on. He was absolutely fascinated and stood still for about 10 minutes (which for him, is alot!). We watched an elephant show, and every time the audience clapped for an elephant trick, T did too.
