The St. Louis Zoo

Today we got up early and loaded up the girls and headed to the zoo. We wanted to try to get there before we had to pay to park, and pay for the children's zoo and also pay for the carousel. We accomplished two of the three things. Because of some major construction, we were a few minutes too late to park for free.

Once inside the zoo, we went straight for the carousel. The girls loved it so much, we rode a couple of times. It was lots of fun.



After the carousel, we went to the children's zoo and they had a large tortoise out walking around. The girls were all content to stand back and look, but did not want to get too close. We also went inside a building that had many small animals. The girls loved going from one exhibit to another. They even got to see a few of the small animals out of their cages. The last stop in the children's zoo was the goats. We went in and the goats started to get a little crazy so we turned around and walked out. None of us wanted to be around for large goats attacking.

The last thing we did at the zoo was ride the train around the zoo. It was loads of fun to see many of the animals in the zoo from the comfort of the seats.

After the zoo we went to lunch and then headed home for the girls to take naps.
