A Friday Morning Zoo Trip

We took off last Friday morning...with our Linley crew (minus Daddy who was busy working!!)...to explore the zoo.

We had to meet Ryder and his parents this time around so we waited at the South Gate Entrance area.  I told Owen more than twice to stop hanging over the edge.  Boy does that kid NOT listen!  I'm just glad he didn't feel the need to go for a swim!
What Momma??
Um...give me that back...you know how much I NEED my binky!!
I'm not sure why you are asking me to smile Aunt Jessie...but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna do it.
 Nope. Still not gonna.
I tickled her tummy and she hid her face...so I still didn't catch that smile. BUT I do love that pony tail :)
Why are just sitting here Momma??
YAY! Ryder is here :) Adventure awaits!
Giraffes were first on the list to visit.  Owen and Miss Lady had the same idea!
I look like my Daddy don't ya think??
Classic STL Zoo photo!!

Walkin' with Grandma!
Hey, you have my hat.
Hey YOU have MY hat.
Oh wait. We have the same one. LOVE this pic!
Waiting for Sea Lions!!
Everything went awesome until Owen decided he wanted to go down and see the Sea Lions up close and personal. We had a pretty major meltdown after I tried explaining it wasn't his turn to feed the Sea Lions and we ended up having to bail early b/c the boy in front of us was mad he was crying so loud.  Ahh toddler-hood.  Apparently meltdowns happen whether you are 4 or 1 in our family...and after a nice soaking rain storm...it was time to head home!!  We'll try the Sea Lions another day!!

Thanks STL Zoo for another great visit!! It never gets old and it's always fun :)
