Summer days drifting away

This pretty much sums up our trip to the zoo...and then shortly after...

At least the sea lions were in a good mood!

Checking out the flowers Carousel ride was fun

Face to face with an ape

Children's petting zoo

A family of sea otters

Hippos!

"Walking" with mimi and papa

We took advantage of the low temps in the 80's and went to the St. Louis Zoo...we've been waiting all summer to go, but it's just been too miserably hot. I didn't think we were going to make it before school started, but we did, just three days before!

Amelia was her usual self-not the most cooperative little girl. She wanted to run and run and run some more, which was a problem when we were engulfed in crowds of people and when we tried to put her back in the stroller. She did have fun seeing the animals this year and we did make it to the sea lions show, but there were many trying moments!
