Yesterday we went to the St. Louis zoo. It was overcast and a little chilly, which made it a nice day to be outside.
The boys enjoyed seeing the animal exhibits with Grandma.
We learned an interesting fact about hippos bottoms. When they go poo in the water, their tail propels the dung in different directions, which feeds all the fish and other sea life. Hippo tails are a very important part of the eco-system. Kind of gross, but something to think about that next time you eat fish from a river with hippos:).
The newest exhibit were painted dogs. They were really cute, and cuddled up together when we saw them.
Meet Caleb the bear cub!
And the two youngest snake charmers :).
There were several elephant exhibits, and really cute baby elephants.
No trip to the zoo is complete without a ride on the train.
And a post-zoo trip to get frozen custard at the famous Ted Drewes.
This place was packed!
And this little boy really enjoyed every last drop of his ice cream!
It was a fun day together!

What a nice day. I am glad that the zoo and Drewes was on your schedule. That Caleb got right into that ice creme. Or should I say that the ice creme got right on to that Caleb? Love the pictures. Love, Dad P.

Great zoo pictures - certainly the two cutest fearless snake charmers we ever saw. Caleb, love your
Ice cream style - think you missed eating some though. Fun last day with Grandma Betty. Safe travels home.
Love you all -
Looks like a perfect day....and you just made me homesick :)
