The penguin house is very cool. Literally!! The boys were so excited to go in and see the penguins until they felt the extreme cold. I don't know the temp in there, but cold enough for all of the penguins. They are so amazing. They had several types of penguins, many of them like on the movie Happy Feet.
The boys got a souvenir too of course. B wanted a giant snake and D opted for the chomping monkey head. B loved the snake and still sleeps with it now. It was so cute to see him walking around at the zoo in 80-90 degree weather with the stuffed snake wrapped around his neck. My question though is....how did he know how to wear a snake?? D's monkey became very annoying as he was chomping everything around and even trying to chomp the snake and make B cry. But I guess thats brothers for you right?? Just wait till B is older and he'll be telling D that his snake will easily win over the monkey with one venomous bite...hee hee!!
B couldn't wait to see the giraffes. When I asked him what animal he wanted to see most he said giraffe. He wasn't quite happy until we finally found them. " my giraffe, my giraffe!!", it was precious.
Good thing B didn't want this snake!! Yikes, and glad i didn't find it in my garage! This boa was huge!!
The zoo here where we live has an exhibit where you can watch a polar bear swim around under water. The zoo up there had a hippo exhibit, very cool. Those things are so huge!! Amazing how they walk around on the ground under water!
The boys just couldn't wait to go see the dinosaur exhibit. I don't think it was quite what they had thought. These were electronic type moveable dinosaurs.They didn't walk or anything but just moved their heads and legs and made growling noises. Well the boys were scared. But, mean parents that we are we made them endure it (hey we paid extra for that!!) and even pose for pictures while B was screaming in horror. They'll get a kick out of these pics when they are a few years older!
By the end of the exhibit D realized not to be scared and even sat on a dinosaur for a photo op....happpy me! B of course still wanted no part of the dinosaurs.
We ended the evening at some friends house and enjoyed a wonderful homemade dinner with pasta, bread, salad and a wonderful cheesecake for dessert! The boys got to play with some "antique toys". They were Gary's when he was a boy and they were made out of metal, amazing how kids didn't really hurt themselves with these! But my boys were just so happy to have some trucks and tractors to play with while mommy and daddy did some visiting.
Well that's all for our Saturday in STL. More to come later, with yes more pics!

More to come later, with yes more pics!B finally gets a hair cut tomorrow. I love his curly locks but they are getting too long and starting to be kinda like a frizzy afro. So, tomorrow the locks will be gone! But he does look so adorable after a haircut. Tomorrow night we're planning a little get together with my bro and sis in law. I can't wait to see my neice. I feel like it's been forever since I've seen her. I'll be sure to get some updated pictures to share also. Well toodles for now.
