Saint Louis!

We traveled to Saint Louis on Thursday afternoon for a quick family getaway. It's taking forever to upload pictures and I'm tired, so this is just a teaser. We stayed 2 nights in a hotel, swam in the freezing weather outside and went to the Zoo and the Arch. The STL zoo was awesome!!! They have a children's zoo where the kids can pet SO MANY animals and the others were up really close. They also had play equipment and such. The rest of the zoo was just as good- all of the animals were easily visible and it was a GREAT day. We got there at about 9 am and stayed until 3! Here are just a few pics from the children's zoo portion. More to come!

G is such a climber.
She was really open to petting the animals- it surprised me because she can be afraid of so many things.
G tried to throw the guinea pigs.
M was SO GENTLE petting the guinea pigs!
