Wow! What I trip I had on April 18
th! I accompanied Erin and her kindergarten class to the St. Louis Zoo.
It was a lot of fun, but it rained all day.
We had to wear our ponchos and tried to look at most of the exhibits that were indoors.
All of the animals were very fun to see.
We checked out the animals in the “River’s Edge” that were commonly found in plains/desert type areas, such as a capybara, an anteater, four hippos and elephants that were really enjoying the rain!
We also watched the seals play and saw the giraffes seek shelter from the drizzle.
Even more, we went to the insectaruim and the butterfly geodome in Discovery Corner after we visited the goats at the petting zoo.
We visited the penguins in their new exhibit also.
They were very excited, swimming quickly through the water and enjoying the cold air.
We saw lions, and monkeys, and bears…oh my!
We ended our day by riding the train through the zoo and buying some post-cards at the gift shop.
We did not go to the snake house thankfully!
However, you can see the scary hyena we encountered in the photo above.
The hyena’s were seeking shelter from the rain, and took the time to take a nap, fortunately while we were visiting!!!
The St. Louis Zoo is a non-for-profit establishment that has free admission.
All proceeds from food and souvenir sales go to support the zoo and conservation efforts.
The zoo is open everyday of the year, except Christmas and New Year’s Day.
The zoo houses hundreds of various animal species, many of which are endangered or threatened.
The zoo focuses on conservation and is working on many programs to rebuild certain animal populations.
You can find out more information about the zoo at
www.stlzoo.org.
My day at the zoo was very fun and I’m glad that I got to go.
I learned a lot of important things about animals, their habitat, geography, and animal interaction.
After we returned from our trip, I spent the weekend at Erin’s playing with her dog, Brown Dog.
You can see our photo from when we took a break playing.
It was a very nice “vacation” and a fulfilling weekend!
