Adventures to the zoo

The first day we were in St. Louis (full day) was beautiful. So we decided to stroll around the zoo. We love going to the zoo because it's free and Aaron can get out and do and see. It was relaxing!

They had decorations and activities for Halloween, they always have a lot to do for the kids this time of year.

Oh, the anticipation!!  Waiting for the train.

I love this picture.  He is so excited!!  Dad's head is a little funky, thanks to my new lens, but you get the idea.

This bird cage was built for the 1904 World's Fair.

And our penguins.  A month or two ago we all camped out in the living room (without Delaney) and watched March of the Penguins.  Aaron is now an expert.

The famous gorilla that everyone climbs on and gets a picture on.  That's why he's so golden.  This was the best picture, no one looking at the camera, or crying.

Historic hill.  It's lovely.

The family checking out the meer cats.

One of my favorite parts, the Rivers Edge.  This is the area that has the hippos, the elephants and a few other things.  My faves are the hippos and the elephants. :)

And this year there was a baby!!!  Look at the size of that cute thing!

And zebras.  This zoo is so big that we rarely even make it this far!!  It's practically in the opposite corner of the entrance(s) we come through, and there's sort of boring stuff, like animals you don't even know the names of.  Lots of mountain animals, goats, sheep, things related to deer.

Waiting on the train again.

And tigers!!!  This one is taken from the train.  He must have been hungry because he was awake and pacing!

It was a long day.
