Zoo Much Fun!


The St. Louis Zoo was such a blast. We got there early so Robbie could go to the Children's Zoo and pet and feed the goats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. He loved it until we put him on the ground and a goat started coming toward him (we had to be holding him for the rest of the time with the goats). Another wild adventure: a cheetah escaped and was wondering around the zoo! We had to go "hide" in the animal recovery shelter for about 10 minutes until the cheetah was locked back up. Rob wore a smug little smirk on his face for a few minutes, just begging me to ask him why. Finally he blurted out, "Don't worry babe. I'm packin'," before smiling and pointing to his bulging ankle (he favors the ankle hoster). It made me laugh--he makes me laugh everyday.

Kirksville Firehouse Tour

Sight-Seeing St. Louis


Since we have lived in Missouri, we have never left our little town of Kirksville! Well, after Rob finished off his first quarter, we decided it was time to check out a little "MO" of the Show-Me State. Little Robbie was getting over a bug, so he wasn't super enthused this trip (until we got to the zoo, that is), but it was still a great time. Rob's dad was sure to remind us that it was the murder capital of the U.S. last year, so when we got to St. Louis, we were suprised to see how quiet and clean it felt. Fun trip!
