ZOOT ZOOT ZOO

We've had a few sunny Saturdays so a few weeks ago we went to the St. Louis Zoo. I think everyone else had the same idea because it took us about 45 minutes to find a parking spot. But it was definitely worth it - we got there mid afternoon and all the animals were energetic and awake. Last time we went all the animals were resting or totally asleep. LAZY. Anyway - we had a good time being out in the sun for the first time in months. It makes it feel like Spring might actually be coming at some point, probably after all the tornadoes make their way directly through St. Louis. We've seriously had tornado warnings almost everyday for the past two weeks. It's a bit scary waiting around your TV with your shoes and raincoat on just in case you have to make a run for your life to the basement. Brad and I were even discussing who would grab what if we have seconds to make a dash (me: Finley and our camera. Brad: hard drive and journals).

But besides sunny Saturdays and tornado warnings we are getting ready for Finley's first Easter and getting Brad ready for externships and applying for residency. Its a bit stressed around these parts to say the least so it was good to get some stress out at the zoo. Finley didn't really pay much attention to the animals but she loved sitting on dad's shoulders - I think she's still a few months away from appreciating fun actives.
