Lions and Tigers and Okapi... Oh My

Lion

Tiger

Okapi

Before Kaile started school we went to the St. Louis Zoo as a family. We got there early enough to park on the street so our entire day at the zoo was free!!! (except for the bag of zoo animals we bought Brecken at the end, oops) Admission to the zoo is free but parking is $6 and then other things like the seal lion show, feeding the stingrays and the children's zoo are extra...We had plenty to do though without the extras! Brecken loved all the animals and is just so talkative and has so much energy. It was fun to see some new animals that we have never seen before like Okapi (a giraffe with strips). Also the zoo has this new underwater viewing area for the sea lions that was really neat and the penguin exhibit was awesome! Kaile loved the bug and butterfly house... Brecken didn't :( he freaked out when a butterfly almost landed on him. Altogether we had an awesome day at the zoo and will most definitely be going back soon.

I love the St. Louis Zoo! I am so jealous you guys are living there. If you ever get the chance, you should check out the magic house. It's not free, but Brecken (and you) will LOVE it. The science center is also awesome, and it is free, except parking. Oh...and the City Museum. That's the coolest of all, and probably the most expensive, but worth it. I should email you a list of fun things to do, since I'm not there to do them!
