Grant's Farm

On Saturday morning, we headed to South County to visit Grant's Farm. The morning was cloudy and cool (for this time of year)as we pulled into the parking lot. It was 9:00 a.m. so there wasn't the normal large crowd yet. Evelyn LOVED riding the tram around the property and getting to see the deer and various other creatures up close. Once we got off the tram, Evelyn watched the baby goats being fed, the tortoises drinking water, and even discovered the answer to the question, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" (A: To see Evelyn up close!) She enjoyed watching the African elephants and the famous Clydesdales; however, she was a little intimidated by their size. Before leaving the Farm, Evelyn met a children's author named Byron von Rosenberg. He read one of his stories to her and we purchased a copy of the book, which he personalized. We headed out around 11:00 a.m., just as the sun began to peak from the clouds and tour buses full of people began to pull in to the Farm. It was a fun-filled morning for the Simmons' family!
