Zoo

Last weekend we went to the zoo for the first time. St. Louis has a great zoo - unfortunately we must have picked a bad entrance or something, since we spent a long time in there before seeing any animals - lots of snack shops and gift stands, though! The first animals we saw were the birds. Anna and Kara spent any time looking at animals pointing frantically, waving frantically and saying "doot." We had a lot of fun and will have to go again to see most of the animals we missed! Plus the girls can say "zoo" kind of, so that makes it more fun.

Rhinoceros hornbill - not only was he easy to spot, but he made the girls jump with how loud he was. Giraffes - this baby giraffe (all the way on the left) was only a week old when we saw him.

Zebras - Andrew's high school mascot. And penguins. I was a little apprehensive about these, since the last time we saw them, one lunged pretty far over the glass at me and I had to step back so as not to get attacked. They were more docile this time.
