Spring Break - St. Louis Zoo

Day two we went to the St. Louis Zoo -

an excellent zoo that is FREE! Dare I say the best zoo I've been to? Probably.

 I read online that from 9-10 a.m. the carousel and the kid's petting zoo are also free,

so we got there in time to do both. 

Charlotte loves any carousel. Unlimited riding was a dream come true. 

 Remember how Carver climbed 9 stories high in a tunnel made of rebar to go down a steep slide with no problem?  Well, he can do that, but as soon as his animal started going up and down he was horrified!

Charlotte kept saying, "This is my goat. She loves me brushing her."

 Distracted by an airplane -

Riley was SO thrilled to see an elephant, then we rounded the corner and there were more elephants!  Bigger and closer and even a baby!

(I often wonder if Macie will look back on all these photos and wonder why she was always so grumpy. Queen of the ice stare, I tell ya'.)
