St Louis Zoo trip

We went to another zoo yesterday. But I figured that before I post pictures from there I should probably post the pictures from our trip to the St Louis Zoo. I got the camera back on the Monday after going down. Which was amazing because I didn't figure I would get it until later in the week. I just haven't had (or taken) the time to do a post about that trip until now.

*Funny note: I didn't realize until just going through these pictures but G2 and G3 were wearing the same shirts to both zoos (just opposite--you will see later).

So here is our fun day at the zoo on March 26, 2009:

Family picture

G3 wanted in with him. And then he started walking towards where we were and she got even more excited.

G4 was being very goofy and would make a face or look away every time Daddy tried to take her picture.

I'm so glad he loves her.

I'm not sure what's going on. G3 is on the left.

I don't remember what she was looking at but she was excited.

I told Matt that this looks like one of our children. He didn't agree. I think I will name him Griff.

Mesmerized

G1 named him Tracy

Him too. Cool antlers huh?

Another family picture

Walking with Grammy
(we are so lucky that we get to take her with us on so many adventures!)

I wish I could get that comfortable

Grammy and the 3 older Gs still looking at the Sun Bear ^

G3 wanted to pet the penguins

The Gs growled at the anteater when he started walking towards us.
Then it turned and walked away.
It made everyone around laugh.


There was a tunnel the kids could crawl through.

While we were standing there watching the elephants I overheard a young girl say to her father,
"Daddy, that elephant just walked through his poop!"
It made me laugh.

Checking stuff out from the train

Isn't she pretty?!

Look at those eyes!

"Choo choo" (check out video below)

Grammy and The Gs

Another family picture

The Gs

G2 wanted to hold G4

The video: some of the Gs saying "All aboard" and then G3 and G2 saying "Choo, choo." G3 got more into it. You can't hear them too well because of the guy talking but it's still fun to watch them.

    Grammy sure got into the "Choo-Choo's"
    Love it.

    That trip was so much fun, but I probably wouldn't have been choo-chooing if I would have known the video camera was running. The weather was perfect for a zoo trip.

    I love the pic of G1 with his arm around G4, more so because of his thumb popped in his mouth! I love when little boys suck their thumbs :) Also, I like how teeny the Gs look in the pic by the "zoo" statue! What a fun trip! It's wonderful that your mom can do that stuff with you! As much as we enjoy living overseas for now, that's a definite drawback. I really want to live closer to family in the not-tooooo-distant future. So fun!
