Let's Go to the Zoo!

On the Saturday before the marathon, we decided to enjoy the beautiful, warm weather and take a trip to the St. Louis zoo. Ellie and her cousins, Kameron & Paige, loved the animals, but they seemed to have as much fun climbing on stuff and just running around.





Ellie and Kameron also had a good time on the carousel. Paige, not as much.

We had to wait in line for a while to ride. Then, of course, as soon as we got to the front of the line and were the next people to climb aboard, they closed the gates and said they were full. Our kids then had to stand in line some more and watch all the other children riding, which is torturous to excited 1 and 3-year-olds.


The children's zoo is also a cool place. Ellie had little fear around any of the animals in the petting zoo, so our next trip may have to be to Grant's Farm. But we should probably start taking the video camera, because it seems like those places are hotbeds for America's Funniest Home Video moments.
