We went to St. Louis on vacation a few weeks ago.  While we were there, we went to a place called "Grant's Farm."  It was called that because at one time the farm belonged to Ulysses S. Grant.  Here is a picture of his log cabin.  It has a fence made of rifles from the Civil War.

It has a large animal preserve with lots of exotic animals. Here's the Indian House for the cows that are sacred in India.  There's some of the cows in the picture too.

The farm also has lots of animals that you can pet and feed. Here's my sister petting a minature horse.

We also got to bottle feed the baby goats.  My sister is in the background. I think a goat knocked her over.

Today my dad and I went on a fishing trip. Here's me getting ready to fish.

I caught a catfish.

Here's me getting ready to throw it back in the water..
AS we were leaving, this is what we found on the bridge----a copperhead.  We had to walk around it very carefully.

This is my first show and tell with Mrs. Mary.  My family went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens last weekend and I got to make pictures.  Here's the indoor cactus garden:

This is the outdoor cactus garden:

I saw lots of different animals in the garden. Here is a lizard--you have to look closely to see it because it blends in.

In the Japanese garden we saw Koi and turtles.

We had lots of fun.

Bethany has given me the Gold Star blogger award.  Thanks! 

I give it to all my blogger friends, including my sister and my mom.

I planted a garden two weeks ago. Here's me planting my garden.

This is what it looked like last week. The sunflowers have grown a lot.

For fun  my friend and I built a fort from cardboard boxes. It was fun to play in. We had lots of wind Sunday but it stood up through it all.
