This is our third trip to the zoo this summer, and we still haven't seen it all! I forgot how big the St. Louis Zoo actually is. We will probably need to go a couple more times before we hit all (or at least most) of it.
Lily gets ready for the zoo by pretending to be a giraffe and reaching for the leaves.
As always, the first stop was face painting. Today she chose a kitty cat, probably my favorite one to date.
This time we went through the dinosaur exhibit. Carl stood in front of this one with Lily and said, "I hope the dinosaur doesn't spit on us". As she was laughing, the spray came out, and she jumped with surprise, wondering, "How does daddy know these things?"
The dino dig
Lily has shown some interest in dinos lately. Before we left today, she wanted to know all the names of the dinos that we would see. Too bad that I could only name about five. I'm not sure what she thinks about them in general, but when we first mentioned going to the zoo to see dinos, she scoffed at such an idea. It's hard to tell whether she knows that dinos don't exist anymore or that they just don't live at zoo.
Mama and baby
Homo Sapien Sapien
The camel dreaming of cooler times, back in Egypt.
Lily & daddy checking out an exhibit together. I don't know why she has that expression, but it's pretty darn funny.

Zoo days are fun but exhausting, as Lily seeks rest in daddy's arms
