Friday we went to the St. Louis Zoo. The zoo was wonderful and we ended up spending much more time there than we expected. We got to see a lot of animals that they do not have at our local zoo. Sam's favorite animal exhibit was the penguins. You go inside this cold habitat and they have a whole room full of penguins and puffers. His favorite part of the whole day was riding the train. It makes different stops and I think we rode it four times. He enjoyed each one and was excited to see what color engine we had each time and loved the tracks that went through the tunnels.
Ella will tell you that her favorite animal was the giraffes but I think she was much more excited by the leopard. We told her we were looking for a jaguar and she was so interested in seeing "Baby Jaguar" just like on Diego. The jaguar was hiding in his habitat but right next to him was a leopard that was real close and to her looked like a jaguar. It was really cool how close he was to us. Ella was also a big fan of the carousel.
I would say that John and I liked the tigers and the sea lions the best. There were five year-old tiger cubs and they would play fight with each other which was neat to watch. The sea lion show was also entertaining. We missed the first show and I wanted to go back to see the next one but later decided it may not be worth going back across the zoo. John said we should go ahead and go back and I was glad we did. It was fun watching the sea lions slide across the stage on their bellies. One of the sea lions even threw frisbees into the audience with his mouth! It was a fun day!
