On Thursday (before the awesome weekend), Jack and I met Grandma and Grandpa at the zoo. It was a great day for the zoo. The weather was nice and it was not very crowded at all. Now that school is in session there are a lot fewer visitors to the zoo during the week.
Jack had a snack while we waited to meet Grandma and Grandpa at the entrance. It turns out they got there before us and were waiting just inside.
Of course we rode the train. 
On Saturday, we headed to St. Clair, MO to a party on farm owned by one of Jim's colleagues. Rain poured down on us as we drove out there (over an hour away) and we wondered if we were crazy to even go. Shortly after we arrived, the sky cleared and we had a beautiful day. We had so much fun. Jack's favorite part was riding a horse. He went on a few horseback rides, as Jim walked along beside him. Jack waited patiently in line for his turn to ride.
He's riding a horse!!!
After the ride, he got to pet the horse to say "Thank You!" 
We also went on a hay ride.
Jack is standing in front of the wheel of the tractor that pulled us. When we see a picture of a tractor in his truck books now, he likes to tell us how he rode in a tractor.
We walked down to the river.
Jim and Jack tried to catch a frog.
Then Jim showed Jack how to skip rocks on the water.
Jack enjoyed the s'more Jim roasted on the fire for him.
Shortly after eating s'mores, the rain came again. We helped clean up and then headed home. We made it home in time to go to a friend's house to watch the ND-Purdue football game. ND won! I was actually rooting for Purdue since there were 5 ND fans and 1 Purdue fan at the house. I thought I would make things a little more even (and my brother and sister-in-law did go to Purdue, as well as my good friend Connie).

We got some bbq from one of the booths and headed to the playground to eat it. A juggler entertained us at the playground for a while.
No trip to the playground would be complete without a ride on the swings!
