"On the road again!" This was Ellie's theme song through the summer months as we would pack up and hit the road! From Manhattan to Kentucky to Alabama to Florida and through many other states on our summer adventure down to our summer KALEO project! She would often burst into song when we would pack up the suitcases an get buckled into the van... Well on the final leg of our trip back to Kansas, we decided to make one more pit stop before we reached home... or our "green house" as Ellie calls it. :) We were about 6 hours from our final destination when we passed a sign for the St. Louis Zoo! The girls are at a really fun age for field trips like this, so we made a last minute decision to stop! We are so glad we did. It ended up being a fun family memory! Here are a few pictures from our 2 hour tour of the zoo!

We had to get a few pics at this statue! It actually brough back some fun memories. My brother Joe and I took a spring break trip to this zoo together the year after I got out of college and he was a junior. We have a couple cute pics right at this spot! Unfortunately, Alexa wasn't quite so fond of it. You might not be able to tell from the pictures, but she was stiff and trembling! Scared her to pieces!!! And can you find Ellie in the above pic? She was hiding. :)

Ellie is turning out to be a lot more like her Daddy than her Mommy in the arena of loving animals! I am okay with animals, but Joel and Ellie LOVE them... So, she is always enthralled with every exhibit and wants to tell me ALL about each one. Pretty cute, actually. :)

It was a very warm day, and our girls are definitely hot blooded! So they would take every opportunity to run through the misters that were strategically placed throughout the zoo!!!

Though we didnt' have time to make it through the whole zoo, it was a great place to stop and stretch our legs and get out of the van for a while!!! Lots of great memories at the St. Louis Zoo! :)
