Gottcha Day

For our first Gottcha Day we went to the St. Louis Zoo. We drove up last night and went swimming in the hotel pool. It was a lot of fun. We arrived at the zoo as soon as it was opening.



The petting zoo is free for the first hour of the day, so that is where we went first. This is a picture of Hayden petting a guine pig. He wasn't sure about it at first but then really enjoyed petting them all.





Doesn't Hayden make a cute otter?

Hayden didn't mind running around with the goats, but he didn't want to pet them.


When hayden and I went to the zoo in Nolfolk Hayden and I had a picture like this taken. Now we have one with Daddy too. Doesn't Hayden look so happy.



We were excited to show Hayden the fish and the big hippo in the water together until we found out what the fish were eating. I guess the nice way to say this is the fish were eating the hippo's dung. Yuck!



Hayden is giving a big hug to his new elephant. Grant and Hayden make great elephant sounds.

This orangtuan is 45 years old. He looks so friendly.

I loved the penguin exhibit. I couldn't believe how fast they could swim.

Now is this a zebra or a horse? We had a hard time deciding. :)


This is Hayden enjoying his lunch, whales. After spending $6.00 on a drink and knowing that food was so expensive in the zoo we wanted to wait until we left the park to eat lunch. The whales helped tied Hayden over. Doesn't Hayden look so tired.


This picture was taken about one minute after we left the zoo. Hayden had so much fun.
