Back in July the kids and I, honorary "Aunt" Margaret, Aunt Karen and cousin Kyle, and some of Karen and Kyle's friends spent a morning at the St. Louis Zoo. This has become an annual event for us, and as usual, it was tiring, but a lot of fun!
Ava found a friend right off the bat. Do you think if Princess Ava kissed him, he'd turn into a prince?
First stop: the Children's Zoo. Ava really liked these guinea pigs:
Then we ventured over to see the hippos. It was a nice, cool morning and they were very active, running circles around the bottom of their tank:
Here's cousin Kyle. He's about 1.5 years old, and a bundle of energy!
Here's Dane. He's a bundle of energy AND mischief! Not a good combination.

Elephant, Ava-watching:
Dane was determined to stay hydrated that day!
He also found lots of places to climb: 
Next on the agenda was the Penguin & Puffin Coast. We got there just in time for a feeding, which was fun to see:
Hungry penguins!
It's really cool to watch the penguins swim in the tanks and jump onto the rocks.
Puffins!
Ava, camel-watching:
Camel family:
Our last stop of the day was to see the primates. Ava and Dane feel a special camaraderie with the monkeys. :) These are chimpanzees:
Hopefully more posts to come sooner rather than later!
