St. Louis Trip

We went up to St. Louis and saw some friends from Chicago we hadn't seen in a long time. We took the kids to Grant Farms which is kind of a free mini-zoo.

They have an area you can brush the animals:

At the farm you can feed lots of animals and they can get a little aggressive, but here they are behind a fence so it makes it easier for little ones:

Near the exit of the park they have an outdoor food court that plays polka music over the speakers. All the kids loved the music and started to dance in an open area. It was quite entertaining.

After the dancing Landon decided to hang out with Abby and just check things out.

The Disney trip is up next.

Ease the Pain

Since I'm pretty sure most everyone who subscribes to this blog lost the election, I thought I would send out some new pictures of everyone's favorite Landon. If there is another Landon higher on your list I'm sure he wrecked the economy, is responsible for global warming, is under qualified, plays hockey with lipstick, has invaded several countries on a bar bet, has associated with known controversial figures, and makes promises he can't keep. If I've learned nothing from politics (and I haven't) its that the way up is paved by the people your stepping on. At least its better than linoleum, that stuff is made from oil.

We had to repair a flat tire on the tractor. Here is Landon loosening the bolts and getting ready take off the wheel.

We also had a rainy day play party in his room with lots of blocks

and some indoor golf - an excellent game I taught him that I'm sure his mom will really appreciate (especially when he moves up from the putter to the driver).

Of course these intense golf lessons do require a little bit of resting.

I have some more photos in store and should have a little posting spree here over the next couple weeks.. I also have some video where he is showing off his awesome dancing genetics, but that will have to wait till next time.
