Trip to the Zoo

Today my mom, a friend and my aunts took my cousins and I to the St. Louis Zoo. We had so much fun looking at all the different animals.

Mom took this picture at lunch. She said I looked like a monkey behind bars.

Here's some camels that we got to see. See the two little babies. When they stood up, they had some really long legs.

This giraffe was trying so hard to get some of the leaves for a snack. We watched him work really hard to reach them with his tongue and he finally was able to grab a few. I sure hope they tasted good, as hard as he worked for them.

This was a little black bear. He had just gotten out of the water from taking a dip to cool off.

Here's some alligators. They didn't move the whole time we were looking at them.

We got to see baboons. They were jumping around on the rocks playing with each other.

Here's the zebras. I think they were standing in the shade trying to stay cool.

Man the elephants were huge. We thought we were going to get to see some baby elephants but we were too late.

This is the biggest catfish I've ever seen. Today Dad and Uncle Jeff were in a fishing tournament. I wish they could have caught a cat this big, they would have won for sure.

Here's the seals. They were talking to us the whole time we watched them. They looked like they were having a lot of fun swimming around. Johnna kept saying she wished she could be swimming.

This is just one of the snakes that we saw. It's a good thing Uncle Jeff wasn't with us...he's terrified of snakes. He probably wouldn't have even gone in the reptile house.

We had so much fun today. I sure hope we get to go back sometime.
