Theis Farm

Last year I learned of Theis Farm but never made it there. One of my friends went 4 times and now I know why. If this was not the last week I would definitely take the kids again. We played there for 3 hours. They had a corn maze, 2 hay mazes (that you needed a flash light for but we had Eric:), a zip line, pedal tractors for the kids to ride on, a hayride, swings that were made out of recycled tires that look like horses, animals, and more.









The pirate boat that the kids loved. On the deck they could crawl down a later and run through the boat and come up on the other side.


Caleb loved the Zip Line

Eric thought it would be fun if we both did the zip line together. I was all sport about it but honestly I totally hesitated when it was our turn. That is a lot of trust you give a rope when you jump off and glide. I kept thinking… my son is watching I better jump and enjoy. But here is a picture of Eric and I am hesitating for a few seconds.

Proof that I made it through.

Villa Antonio Winery

We were supposed to go to Hermann but we were not sure if Caleb was coming down with something or not so we decided to stay around home. Eric really had his heart set on going to a winery so we did just that. After a soccer game and building Frankenstein’s at Lowes we headed out for a picnic to a place that is noted for being one of Saint Louis best kept secrets, Villa Antonio Winery. It was really beautiful!!! Eric and I decided to do their wine tasting but they had it set up that we could walk around and enjoy things and return for our next sample. It was so peaceful and enjoyable that we were there for 3 hours and it took those three hours to complete the sampling. I think we end up with 3 to 4 glass of wine by the end of it. The kids were with us but they were having such a wonderful time that it was perfect. They loved running around and finding new things to explore. We saw butterfly’s, grasshoppers, a caterpillar, ducks and a goose. We found deer foot prints that Caleb was really excited about. We found another set of prints that took us a long time to figure out they were Caleb’s soccer cleats. Ha, ha, ha… we all had a good laugh at that one. Oh and live music. It was a really good day.

Roughhousing with Daddy

A little girl…

...coming out. Madeline found a blush brush today so she has been playing makeup with her teddy bear. Too cute, not to take the picture.

Officer Caleb

Have I told everyone how much I love Caleb’s school. They had police officers come to the school and talk to the kids. They went outside and were able to see the police car and hear the siren go off. Caleb also became a officer himself. They made police hats and badges with their pictures on them. All day he was known as Officer Caleb.

Date Night

We went on a amazing date… to the Melting Pot. One night when my parents were here they sent us off for a date. It was so nice of them and we truly enjoyed our night out. It was our first time at the Melting Pot and it was totally amazing, so much fun and wonderful, yummy food. We had fun making our food and ate so so so much. It was a lovely time.
