The Zoo!

Today was the first day of summer and Henry's first trip to the zoo. I thought the extreme heat might keep people away, but everything was as busy as ever. St. Louis has an excellent zoo, and the best part is that it's free!!

Henry really enjoyed the animals a lot -- about as much as he enjoyed the friends that we went with. I'd say that Henry's favorite place was the Penguin exhibit. The building is very cold inside and a bunch of penguins swim around and play. One of the penguins was swimming around really fast and flipping out of the water and splashing us. We were all laughing -- especially Henry. We also went to pet stingrays and feed them. Henry and Trixie wanted none of that.

Our zoo is so big that there's no way to see everything in one day. We'll definitely be going back and I think Henry will be quite happy about that. Henry went crazy waving at the train every time it went by, but we didn't have time to ride it today. Next time ...
