First Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday we took Katherine to the zoo for the very first time.  It was the first stop of a long list of places in St. Louis that Katherine will visit this summer.  We live in a great city with lots of awesome stuff to do and see and I'm embarrassed to say that we rarely take advantage of such opportunities.

So, I'm dedicating this summer to making sure Katherine sees the city that she is so lucky to live in.  First stop, the zoo. 

Overall, her reaction to the zoo was similar to her trip to the American Girl Store.  Less than impressed.  She loved the large animals that were moving around.  Sleeping bears.  No thank you.  Sitting antelopes.  Pass.  Birds.  What am I even looking at?  

Then we saw the elephants.  Well that's interesting.  

We spent lots of time looking at the elephants.  Katherine was also a fan of the giraffes and camels.  The bigger the animal, the more interested she was.

It was the perfect day for the zoo.  I secured my first tan line of the season, but thanks to my choice of "practical" shoes versus cute shoes, my feet were not sore.  I'm officially "that" mom now, choosing comfort over cute.  Oh well.  

      

Happy Friday!
