Brandyn, Jen and the boys came down from Mapleton today and we all went to Grants Farm, one of two places in America where the Budweiser Clydesdales are bred and trained...
Grandma and the boys check out the big guys!
Frank and Kathy enjoying some much needed and rare alone time...
There was a long wait to get in and out of the farm due to the heavy crowd now that the park is back on fall times (weekends only????)
Kaleb shows me his bubble gum...
Ammon flirts with grandma on the tram ride through the park...
These are some of the most famous gates in the country... if you have seen a Budweiser commercial, you have seen these gates...
This a Civil War cabin on the grounds of the Grant Farm...
Kaleb flirts with grandma also...
We finally arrived at the animal interaction area of the farm... Hyrum gets ready to feed the African Pygmy Goats...
Ammon got right into it...
Hyrum was not so sure in the beginning, especially since the goat liked his shirt better than the milk...
He is a little more brave with mom...
It did not take him long to get the hang of it...
Jen used the double bottle technique...
Soon, Hyrum was feeding and grooming...
"There is nothing to this grandma!"
Next we went to the Animal Olympics Show... the flag was raised to begin the games...
Ammon...
...Hyrum...
...and Kaleb, enjoy the show...
Some beautiful Macaws...
strut their stuff as "Budweiser Macaws"...
and the "Anhauser Eagle"...
Then they brought out this beautiful American Bald Eagle!
Then it was on to the camels, which Deb knows all about from here time living in Tehran, Iran as a kid...
Kaleb loved feeding the Llama...
Do these guys look hot and tired or what?
Frank and Kathy's pool is just what the doctor ordered to rejuvenate them...
"Sparkle"
Logan and papa enjoy some time together around the pool...
Hyrum gets to open his birthday present from Aunt Joy...
He wants to be a firefighter like grandpa...
After a nice Barbeque, we settled down for the evening and some Olympics coverage. It was great to see Brandyn, Jen, and the boys again before we leave.
Tomorrow, after church, we will head west towards Utah.
