St. Louis - Zoos, Shoe Shopping, Pools, and More!

Well, this has been day two of our St. Louis trip. Quite the crazy time. We woke up and were almost late for breakfast! After breakfast, we decided to explore the pool deck thinking maybe we should go down there later.

Anyways, the first actual thing we did today was go shopping. The highlight of my vacation: Shoe shopping. Not really. Dad broke his shoe and mom wanted new ones as well. As I was browsing, I realized that they made my exact shoes in a size two and in in dad's size. Talk about awkward.


As well as shoe shopping, we decided to go buy one toy for the pool. It turned out that pool season was over, so we got a tiny basketball. Then we decided to look around for something to get for our room. We got a packet of sour patches. Then a box of Oreos. Then another box of Oreos. Then a six pack of Orange Crush. Then an industrial size box of Cheese Balls. Before long, we realized that we were buying a party.

We also got a good look at our room for the first time. Not too bad huh?


The view is priceless!


Once we bought our treats and had breakfast, we headed out to the zoo. If there are two things I despise, it's zoos, and cold. Lucky me.


Sweatshirts sure helped!

Nice picture, dad!


Katelyn takes a liking to taking pictures with her camera.


Those are actually hippos behind her!


Even though we lost Katelyn's camera and had to retrace our steps four times before we realized that it was in lost and found, missed our ride that we paid $40 for, and paid $8 for a cheeseburger that you could get at McDonalds for $1, it was all worth it when we got to the pool - and couldn't use the pool toy.

I guess the point is that even though almost every up had a down today, it was still a pretty awesome one!
