Day 5 (morning) - Wednesday June 30

Everyone had a great sleep last night and was ready to roll out to the St.Louis Zoo. Many positive reviews - including the fact it was free! Finding a parking spot was another story...we drove for over a mile down the road searching for a scrap of ashphalt on the street of the zoo. Fortunately, I turned around and went up the hill to discover a handicap spot and was happy to also bring my legit handicap card to use such spots.

We loved the zoo and liked the fact we went in the morning. It was HOT and the AM was the best time to walk around for 3-4hrs. Blue skies and happy animals were a great combo. The kids hit is head on from one exhibit to another.





The hippo exhibit was remarkable for the kids to see him swimming right in front of them and moving around. The penguins were "cool" in their a/c habitat and we doing the back/side strokes to impress the observers. The puffins were cool too.

All in all - there wasn't really a bad thing - and it was FREE! We spent much longer there than expected. Thank you Lord for providing this stop.
