St Louis has a huge park area near the zoo called Forrest Park. I believe the zoo is actually part of the park, which also houses the museum (in the photo above) and probably a bunch of other stuff we didn't have time to see. But we did see this big lake:
Since it was not storming in this part of town, we were able to walk around and take some nice pictures.
It was so pretty, and fancy...we saw 3 weddings in the 30 minutes we drove around.
The next day was dedicated to the zoo. We thought we would be there all day, but we had done and seen everything we wanted to by 2 in the afternoon. We had a great time. First stop was the carousel:
The carved animals were beautiful. They had so many different kinds of animals to ride!
These pictures are from the bird sanctuary:
Next, we went to see the sea lions, which were our favorites last time we visited. SOOOO cute!
We also enjoyed the Insectarium / butterfly house.
The last stop was White Castle Burgers, which we thought the kids would really like because of the itty-bitty burgers, but the didn't like the flavor of them. Oh, well. This trip was a blast, and we hope to return soon.
