A Seven Hour Drive (Part 2 of 4)

Friday (continued)....

After Sonya's nap, we hit up the St. Louis Zoo. It's free other than the $12 you pay for parking. I have to admit that it's my favorite zoo. With limited time, we didn't get to see the big cats or the monkeys, but we were able to see the rhino, a hyena, cheetahs, fish, the hippos, elephants, apes, bears, and a few others. It was really cool that we got to see the zookeeper feeding the Andean Bears and the penguins!
Passing the St. Louis Arch on the way to the zoo!

After dinner at Denny's, we ended the night with a bonfire and s'mores! There might've been some "bad" singing around the campfire after the kids were in bed. So glad there's not a video to prove it! :-)

Burning brush and tree branches

The flames were really bright!

Looks like such a fun time. I wish we had made the time to visit that zoo when we lived in MO. We should have listened to you. :)
