A day at the zoo

We had such a great weekend!!! We had decided to meet up with some of our travelmates, Mike, Gina and Olivia this past weekend at the St. Louis Zoo, our other family was not able to come (we missed you). It was so nice to get together with them again. After spending two weeks in China together, there will always be that special bond and we hope to keep in touch so that they girls will grow up knowing that special bond they share as well. The day was kind of warm and humid, our first stop was the childrens zoo where they had a petting zoo, the girls really enjoyed petting the goats, we had passed the water going in but decided to leave that for the end of the day. We didn't see too many of the animals most were hiding in the shade away from the heat and sun. The girls enjoyed the birds but got most excited over the penguins!!! It was so much fun to see how excited they got each time the penguins dived in, they girls were right at eye level and Lily was really letting out some screams of her excitement, it was so funny!!!!! They really enjoyed the monkeys as well, we ended the day back at the water where they girls got to cool down. They did really well considering the water was freezing and there were alot of older kids running around, but thankfully no collisions!!! Even though the girls are really too young to play together yet, we did get Lily to give out some hugs to Olivia, not sure Olivia was thrilled, but it was so sweet to see. Thanks for a great weekend guys!!!!!
