Going to the Zoo

We go to the zoo fairly often here in St. Louis, but this is the first time that MayLynn was old enough to enjoy the zoo because it's the zoo and not just because she gets to be outside.

We got to the zoo early enough that we got to go to the children's zoo.  For MayLynn this was awesome.  They had toys to play on, fish tanks at eye level, a playground, and goats to pet.  She also really liked the insectarium, especially the displays that were at stroller level : ).

Owen really enjoyed the zoo too. This is the first time that we didn't have a stroller for him, so he got to walk like a big boy.  He enjoyed the children's zoo and the insects too.  We've learned a little bit about bugs - specifically caterpillars and spiders - this summer, so he was really interested in seeing them in the insectarium.

Most of all it was fun to be at the zoo as a family.  I enjoyed watching the kids interact with each other and with their daddy.  Our family has a lot of fun together, can't you tell?
