Saint Louis Zoo

I went to the Zoo earlier this week with Janette and little A. A had a fun time at the children's Zoo, the park within the park.

You can pet and brush the goats in the children's zoo. "A" would sort of touch the goat once, then retreat a little bit.

She wanted to play with the polar bear. Janette told her, "No. They eat babies."
I was also reminded why a don't really like zoos all that much. We saw meerkats that were trying to dig, but they can't because their enclosure is concrete. The grizzly bear was just walking in a small circle, no where to go. And the penguins, as cute as they are, have a very smelly enclosure. There was some dry heaving involved. We went at 8:00 in the morning and were done at 10:00. It just gets too hot to stay out later. During this time of year, it can be hard to convince yourself to leave the house during daylight hours.
