St. Louis Zoo

Porter and his new best bud, Jackson Smith.

Andrew was a champ and had a good time. He thinks that everything alive is either a puppy or a kitty. He just walks around pointing at every animal saying, "puppy."

The three little terds that keep me smiling and laughing.

We have had lots of extra time during this Christmas break. After Christmas day we started getting pretty bored, so we took a trip with the Smith's to St. Louis. I had never been there and every one around here kept telling us what a fantastic place it was to go during school breaks. We weren't disappointed. I am not much of a zoo fan, which many come as a surprise since I am a ZOOlogy major. But, up to this point Hoggle has been the extent of my zoo experiences. St. Louis is apparently rated in the top zoos in the nation and to top it off, it's free. We were only able to see a small portion, but what I saw was pretty impressive.
