STL Zoo

On a whim, we took Cecilia to the St. Louis zoo the day before Mother's Day. We only spent a couple of hours there, but we enjoyed seeing all the animals and being among all the people. I think Celia was just as impressed with the kids around as she was with the exotic animals.

A cheetah!
A statue of an asp right by the railroad tracks. She actually laughed at it! The RR was also thrilling.Asain elephants. These were especially exciting, and there were a lot of great views. We got to see baby elephants too!

A cave model with stalactites and stalagmites.
Celia looking at the monkeys. She LOVED the monkeys!We got one picture with the camels AND the zebras. Double score!The last picture of the day - the penguins!
After the zoo we ate at Pujol's 5, Abert Pujols restaurant. We had trouble finding it, but very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We highly recommend it!

Cardinals Game


Ben and I were invited to go to a Cardinals baseball game with Becky and Elliott. We didn't think we'd make it to a game this season, so it was a big treat. The tickets were free and the seats were great. An awesome date night! As a plus, it was fireworks night, which was more romantic than you'd think. Go Cards!
