Grants Farm

I have not been to Grant's Farm since my two kids were really little. My grandson has never been, until today, and it pored on us. I bet they got an inch or two of rain while we were there. SO we didn't get to do or see as much as I liked to. And we got completely soaked, the boys were freezing cold! We finished up the day, at Zia's, on the Hill in St Louis. ( My favorite Italian restaurant on the Hill) I hope to go back to Grant's Farm again, in the Fall, on a nice day.

2016 Missouri State Fair

Every year we love to go to the state fair! Today was a great day with temps right around 80. Perfect fair weather! I wasn't as impressed with the quilts this year. I thought the prettiest ones were in the cases. My husband and I watched the 4H kids with their dogs, my camera was acting up so no photos. We got so tickled with a little girl and her Corgi. He barked a lot and failed at the sit and stay! But they made the cutest team! I wish I would have videoed them! I loved seeing all the breeds of dogs. Some were gorgeous and some, not so. But that Corgi was too cute! He reminded us of our Corgi, Rascal.
 I wish the horses were there but only a few draft but we still had as great time! But the best thing of all, I won a ribbon for a photo!

I took this 3 years ago. I won a ribbon & $48. :)

Missouri State Fair 2015

I love going to the state fair to see all the FFA and 4H projects. To me it's the best part of the fair. The weather was wonderful too, 60'S in the morning and low 80's by 3. Great day but I am pooped!
