Our day started out early when Miss Ruby decided at 5 am that she needed to go out. News flash - you can not sneak out of a RV. Everyone woke up but stayed down for another hour.
The St. Louis Zoo started in 1904. I told that to fact the boys and Owen says that means it is 118 years old. The kid is good at math!
It was a beautiful way to spend the day. We roamed around all the exhibits and it was the first time that we saw the boys actually interested in the animals.
I asked Austin his favorite and he said the Seals.
Nolan said the Hyenas - perfect choice for him!
Owen said the anaconda - and I gotta say it was freaking huge. On a side note, we were looking at the snakes and papa - made a snake noise and grabbed Nolan’s neck. He jumped 3 feet. It was hilarious and even Nolan laughed.
Mine was the Hippopotamus! Which, by the way, was our girls “code word” when they were little.
But the orangutans came in a close second. This old lady was 53 years old.
Mark said his was the giraffes. Speaking of giraffes - we took this picture about 5 years ago….
And then again today!
Can’t remember the name of this animal but it was stunning.
Lunch and bomb pops provided renewed energy.
Back at the RV - the boys got remote control cars…
And worked with Papa to build and paint wooden cars.
Day two in the books - after some dinner and much needed showers!
