Lilly's first trip to the zoo

I'd like to start by saying the Saint Louis Zoo is, by far, the best zoo I've ever been to and it is FREE! They do such a good job making the animal areas like their natural habitats, we actually had trouble finding some of the animals. The camels must have received a hair cut that morning because one of the zookeepers had a bunch of camel hair for the kids to touch! (I immediately sanitized her hands)

Our zoo has 2 toddler elephants. I dont remember how old they are now, but I'm sure they are old enough to say "I'm not a baby, I'm a big girl now!"


This was the primate house where she could see so many species of monkeys up close behind the glass. She preferred to watch the people....



Can you see those large animals in the background? We tried to focus on the larger animals thinking Lilly would be more interested in them. Lilly could care less. But oh the people! Yep, Lilly is a people watcher.
