Woodland Park Zoo

Yesterday we decided it would be the perfect day to meet our friends up in Seattle and head to the zoo.  The weather was perfect!  Not too hot, and certainly not cold!  Unfortunately the rain returns tomorrow, so I am glad we made the most of it!  


Things didn't got as smoothly as I'd hoped in getting out of the house on time...but we made it to the zoo and even had our camera (but forgot our stroller)!  Clare was a good sport though, and we lugged her around part of the time in carrier.  The above picture is of her enjoying a little goldfish cracker.  Her face kills me. 

Like I said, we met our friends there.  This is the second time we've met up to hang out...the first was at the Pacific Science Center and this time was just as fun as the last.  I am so grateful that we already have good friends that will be experiencing Boston with us! 


Noah is obviously very excited! 

Nana and Gramps came to join in on the fun! 



I failed to get many pictures of the actual animals.  Mostly because not many of them were even out.  You win some, you lose some!  

I did get a couple of pictures though...like this one of the hippo's back...


And this one of a bear sleeping. I couldn't believe the size of this bear!  I would take our backyard friend Booboo over this guy any day!  






I was going to attempt to get a group picture before we left but at least two of the kids were sleeping and I know Noah was pretty tired/grumpy.  Next time I'll remember to take that at the beginning!  All in all it was a wonderful trip and, as always, we had a great time with our friends.  Oh I love summer!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

This past week my brother Mike and his wife Megan came to visit!  Mike served his mission in Saint Louis and came back to show Megan around.  They spent a few days with us, which was awesome, and also spent some time up in Saint Louis.  It was so great having them here!  I love having family come to visit!!  Anyway, we took a day trip up to STL to go to the zoo and see the Arch.  Can I just say,  I LOVE the Saint Louis zoo!  It was one of the best zoos I have been too, and the best part?  Admission is FREE.  Yes, free.





Noah loved the carousel!  Don't be alarmed by his sweet ride - it's a caterpillar, not a slug. ha. 


We had a great time.  If you are ever visiting Saint Louis, I highly recommend going to the Zoo, we can't wait to go back!

Dickerson Park Zoo

Since Andy has had a little time off of work, we have been able to do some fun things as a family.  Monday night we took a shopping trip to the Ozark Outlets...it was fun, and Noah came away with some great summer clothes!!  Last Friday we took  a trip to the Dickerson Park Zoo.  I was pleasantly surprised with how many animals the zoo actually had and we really enjoyed ourselves...aside from all the heat and humidity that is!  I am not sure why I even curl my hair anymore...within an hour it is straight anyway.  ha. 

Here are some highlights.....





Feeding the Goats...

Riding the Titus Express...


After our visit to the Zoo we had lunch at BWWs...that's Buffalo Wild Wings.  It was great!!
