Our Annual Trip to the St. Louis Zoo

We went to the zoo Saturday with Darrin, Lexi and Parker. We had such a great time...one of my favorite parts of the day was when Ethan was walking in front of Parker who was in his stroller and Ethan was pretending to be different animals while Parker guessed what he was....watching the two of them, Ethan making monkey noices and Parker yelling "monkey, monkey!" was priceless!

Ethan and Parker looking for the hippo.

There it is!! Ethan loved the hippo...definitely one of my favorite animals at the zoo!

The Alligator...Tick Tock...Tick Tock

Build a Bear...Ethan picked the Albert Pujols teddy bear for himself and the elephant for Brady

St. Louis Weekend cont.

After the zoo we went to Fitz's in the Loop to eat...needless to say by this point we were all pretty exhausted!!

Ethan and Parker watching an episode of Mickey....the Ipad definitely came in handy in this situation!

Ethan with his new bear "Albie." Of course we had to buy Albie cars Pjs!

Ethan catching a ride to the room....Mommy packed pretty light for one night, right?

Fun at the Dinner Table!!

One of our favorite times of the day is dinner time...Ethan has always said and done some of the most memorable things during dinner. Tonight was no exception, except that Brady joined us!

So Tired!!

When I went in to get Ethan this morning this is how I found him....so tired!
