The Louisiana Purchase Zoo was actually a very nice zoo. They had a lot more animals than I thought they would and the park was a lot larger than it looked. Eli did great, despite the fact that he hadn't had a nap the entire day. He loved walking around and looking at the animals with Grammy and Pop, running from cage to cage, eating his Slush Puppy, and trying to say the animals' names. He never once acted cranky or upset. He was so good! The boat tour at the end of our trip to the zoo was such a nice, relaxing way to end our special day. We can't wait to do it again!
My favorite bird, the flamingo
Mom and I kind of laughed though because the flamingo on the right wasn't as committed to the whole standing on one leg as the others were.

Eli's favorite thing to do all day...sit on the railing and kick his feet against the metal gate underneath. Glad we made some fun memories. :)
We found a worm on the ground, so I gave it to Eli and he gave it to the "tuh-tuh".
The "tuh-tuh" must have been a vegetarian though...no meat for him.

Eli decided that while the captain was collecting the tickets for the boat ride, he would hold down the fort, I mean, boat, for him. He loved sitting in the captain's chair and turning the wheel.
He wasn't too keen on Mommy helping because she wouldn't keep her hands off his shirt.
She was convinced he might fall or something.
He was fine with a little help from Pop though....go figure!

We got in the car to leave and Eli was out in about 10 minutes. He had such a blast at the zoo!
I can't wait to do it again :)
