GRANT'S FARM - Part 1




It was a gorgeous day here in St. Louey today, with highs in the 80s. So, we headed out to Grant's Farm, owned by Anheiser Busch(like everything else in the city. Word is all the free stuff will be closing down now that AB has been bought out, so we thought we best take advantage.


The day starts with a tram ride through the farm. It is beautiful land. This is where they film many of the Bud commercials with the Clydesdales. Grant received this land as a wedding gift before he was president and later sold it to the Busch family.





We had heard this place was better than the zoo. You can get really close to the animals.

Later in the day, we saw these turtles mating! That was a sight. We have pictures if anyone's interested.










They have 3 bald eagles. They are unable to fly anymore and are kept here for safety.













Dad(yes, we've gone from Pop to Dad) told Yulia not to get too close to the camels or they might spit on her.
