St. Louis Zoo

The before mentioned family vacation to St. Louis was a 2 day excursion. We went to the zoo the day after the city museum. In hind sight we pushed a little too much into a short time for a 4 year old (even if he is high energy). By the time we got into the zoo and had walked into the areas of interest he was already getting cranky. About half way into it we gave in and rented a stroller to give everyone a break. Even though we were tired we all still enjoyed it and it will always be a great memory. Maybe we will have to make this vacation a yearly repeat with more time for recovery in it. Mommy sure would have liked a day for lounging at the pool! By the way the tigers were awesome. I wish I would've taken video of them. We got lucky on one of the train stops and while we sat and waited for the passengers to get on the tigers decided to get playful. It was a perfect view. They acted just like very large kittens! It made me wonder how many barrels they go through. (they were batting at a barrel on a chain)
