Here are the delayed photos of our Labor Day weekend.
This past Saturday Zachary and I went to the Wilson-Rutledge Farm with Grams, Aunt Rachel, and Elliott. If you have not heard of this farm then listen up. It is one of the best kept secrets in Springfield. This farm is a new part of the Springfield Park Board. It is an animal farm to learn about farm animals and see the surroundings of farm life. My mom pointed out that when she was a kid almost everyone was raised on a farm or had relatives that lived on a farm. In todays world most kids have never been to a farm. This is the perfect place to have an afternoon of fun with your kids, grandkids, or your spouse. Zachary really loved the miniature pony's, where Elliott took a liking to "Irene the Dairy Queen". We ended up at the "barnyard" play ground where both boys played until their hearts were content...or until we got too hot to take it anymore. We had a great afternoon. Next time we have to take our fishing pools, the dads, and grandpas.

I'm so surprised. You are right about it being a "best-kept-secret." Never heard of it, and it looks fantastic. I've got to learn more and find out location and if you need to let them know you're coming or not, etc. Do they have a Website?
When my St. Louis grandkids come to town, I am constantly trying to think of where to take them. They have so many places available to them in St. Louis, and I have not been able to come up with anything very cool. I went on a tour of the Discovery Center and it just doesn't have much for pre-school age; it's geared more to elementary age kids. So this is so great to hear about. Thanks bunches.
If you hear of other places for young ones to go, please post them.
Ah, yes. We will miss the farm. Those slides are so fast, huh Z? Next time you are there, say hi to the holstein calf for Carina!
