A winter zoo trip

Sorry...more zoo pics, but only a few:) I was amazed at how many animals there were to see even in the middle of winter! I promise I didn't include many of them in this post! And there was practically no one at the zoo, so that was kind of fun. More recent pics coming soon-it's hard to catch up when you've been gone for a while! Oh, and my very favorite quote of the day from Gabe: "Follow me, guys. I know this zoo like the back of my tongue." Nile and I were laughing about that the rest of the day.

I know my head's cut off, but Josie was so excited that we

were "twins" with our boots, so she asked Nile to take this.

You can see the penguin swimming by Gabe's head-apparently
St. Louis has the only (or so the worker told me) penguin house

where you could (but can't!) actually touch the penguins because

you are right up close to them. In fact, Seth and Josie got splashed

in the face when we were taking this pic.
