Going Home

Last day of vacation. So sad!


We had the morning to fill before we had to catch our flight home, so we voted and decided to go to the St. Louis Zoo.


Did I mention how hot and humid it was in Missouri? We were so jealous of the hippos!


This was our favorite exhibit. The hippos were so interesting! We don't have them at our zoo in Phoenix.



The boys pose with a cobra statue.


LOVE the baby elephant!


One of Noah's best lines in the Music Man was, "He's slipperier than a Mississippi sturgeon!" Well, wouldn't you know, we found one!


The boys wouldn't leave the reptile house. WAY too cool (literally, too!).


Just when we thought we were going to die from the heat we found this misting fan and got soaked. Ahhhhhhh.


We were also jealous of the sea lions.


What an amazing zoo. We wished we had time to see it all.


How awesome to see a grizzly bear!


Our last stop was also a favorite: penguins!!


It was nice and cold in their building and we loved watching them eat and play.


The puffins were really fun to see, too.


Spencer almost blends in...


And then we were off to the airport. We stocked up on chocolate peanut-butter reese's shakes, said our goodbyes,


and boarded the plane. What an adventure!


Thank you, Nana and Papa, for the trip! We loved every minute of our time with you. We made memories to last forever.
