We love the St Louis zoo!   Our favorite part is always the Penguins (where Dayne proposed to Steph)...but they are redoing them so they were closed!!  BOO!   BUT that gave us the opportunity to find NEW favorites!!!  We  LOVED the Elephants (there was a tiny baby), the gorillas (They were so amazing, soooo strong and massive!),  Sea Lions were very COOL Kerrigan squealed every time one swam  by the window!  The butterfly house was TONS of fun with our butterfly maps!!  ...AND the GIRLS PROCLAIMED favorite...PRAIRIE DOGS!!!
