First visit to the St. Louis Zoo!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day that we decided to take advantage of our new Zoogoer membership.  This was the boys first trip to the Zoo.  They were really excited to see all of the animals.  They thought many of them were deer!  And hey, the resembled deer so why argue with them.  The African Bongo was now a deer!  I think their favorites were the Orangutans, the Giraffe's and the Hippo!  Of course we didn't get to see everything in one visit.  There is only so much time three almost two year olds will allow for an outing before complete mayhem arrives, and we were getting very close to that point.  In fact Levi was getting very antsy so I decided I would let him walk with me for a little bit and he immediately started throwing a tantrum about what he thought was a tunnel that he wanted to go through.  A lady said to me that she had been following us for a while and she just commented on how good they were.  Thanks lady, you just jinxed it!  We left shortly after that episode and Levi through a tantrum in the car for the complete 25 minutes it took to get to my mom's house.  Ahhh, who said terrible two's anyway, they start at 16 months!  Levi's tiredness aside, it was really fun for them to see all of the animals and to get out of the house and enjoy the wonderful weather.  We can't wait to plan our next visit to the Zoo!

Levi after going into the tunnel he threw a tantrum about.  He realized it was just a hole in a rock and he got scared when he couldn't figure out how to get out. 
Dale and Levi, who is finally happy!
