Animal Magnetism
Remember when I told the story about when a Clydesdale used T1's head as a saltlick? Well, that was at Grant's Farm, and another animal tried to nibble on T1 today at the Busch family farm.
This time it was a camel. And it wasn't trying to bite T1, exactly- it was trying to nibble on his hat. Then we had goats trying to eat shirts and shorts and shoes- but they were cute. Over-zealous, perhaps, but cute.
I can't count how many times I've been to Grant's Farm, and I never get tired of it. Looks like the boys feel the same way. They have some cool animals (not as many as a zoo, but, then again, most zoos don't have zonkeys and zonies). Riding the tram through the deer park is relaxing (and informative), and so is the bauernhof (a courtyard full of umbrella-covered tables where you can sit and rest your weary feet and have a (free)beer or two. Then there's the tram ride back to the parking lot. Across the lot, you can get a glimpse of my favorite horses- the Clydesdales. And all of this is in suburban St. Louis. Gotta love it.
Now, if I can just convince the animals that T1's head is not snackable...
