st. louis--zoo

 We made it to St. Louis Friday night and decided to check out the zoo Saturday morning.  No bunk bed hotels in St. Louis and the girls were so very disappointed.  I wasn't sure they were going to go to sleep, but they eventually settled down in the pull out sofa bed!

The zoo is free in St. Louis (except for parking).  It was such a beautiful setting!  The girls were thrilled to go another zoo and it was a nice morning for it.

They ran up and down the bridge with their arms stretched out for some reason.  It was so cute.

We loved the enclosed sea lion area.  We stayed in there for quite awhile.

The maps were as big of a hit as the animals themselves.  Heidi wanted to navigate where we were going the whole way, so of course Savanna had to have her own map as well.  It slowed us down quite a bit, but watching them with the maps made it worth the slowness.

 The weather was a overcast and it was supposed to get rainy.  The girls were getting hungry so we decided to head to lunch and hit the arch before heading out on the next leg of our journey.  We were so glad we stopped at the St. Louis Zoo!  It was well worth the visit!
