STL Zoo

Several weeks ago we took a trip to the zoo. Megan was very excited and Jacob was just happy to be out of the house!
Here they are in their car seats ready for the big trip. On the way there we were thinking, this isn't too bad Texas won't be too bad...fast forward several hours and another 2 hours in bumper to bumper traffic inside forrest park trying to find a parking spot, we were rethinking everything from car trips to how many kids we want! OK, it wasn't that bad and remarkably the kids did wonderful while we sat in the car moving slower than a person walking (I was probably the whiniest person in the car!) Miraculously someone left at the perfect time for us to get their spot and the day improved from there on!
Elephants! When Michael I were dating one of the elephants actually sprayed us. Of course we didn't have a camera to capture this but it was hilarious!
The main thing Megan wanted to do was go in the "waterfall" which was a spray at the end of River's Edge, it took us the whole day to figure out this is what she wanted! Jacob also loved it of course. This summer is going to be fun with them in the water.
This is the back of Megan's head while she is looking up at the hippo. This is by far my favorite part of the zoo!
Michael and Jacob
Looking at the penguins! This was definitely Jacob's favorite part of the whole zoo!
Megan looking older than three and a half! She carried her penguin around for the entire trip! We even bought a little version of it for Jacob...which is now with Megan.
Jacob is getting so big!
