Here we go to St. Louis!!
I see you behind us Addie!
Our first stop lunch at Canes. We haven't ate their yet even though we have one in Overland Park.
It was pretty good.
I love bridges!
Well we tried to go to Grant's Farm but the lines were huge when we passed bye so we opted for the Zoo. Adelyn was not happy but once she saw the Turtle Park near the park were we parked by she got happier.
The park is awesome!! Huge Turtles.
Haha...she is so happy.
Ella found a little one.
Sliding down the turtle.
Turtle eggs with a snake....uh oh.
Time to go into the ZOO!!
First stop we see more turtles!!
Baby orangutan.
Lots of fun animals.
Beautiful Leopards.
Snow leopards.
Jaguar...wow just wow!
I found some big birds today.
Our favorite part...Penguins!!
I love how you go inside and it is super cold and the penguins are right there...like you can almost touch them!! Super awesome.
Nick and Addie had a picture in the same area when Addie was little.
Penguin Selfie!! Wow it totally turned out!!
Great time at the zoo. Time to go grab some treats...Ted Drewes!!
It was good but didn't seem like they gave me enough?? Lol.
Time to head to the Hampton Inn by the arch to check into our room!! Yay.
The room is very nice and the kids love it of course.
Checking out were the potty is.
Time to eat some of their suckers.
Well lets see what we can go check out next...lets do the Arch since it is right up the street!
We have never stayed so close to the arch...super nice to walk over to it.
Here is our hotel.
The girls are getting more excited the closer we get.
In front of arch that is under construction.
We aren't going up this year..we did 3 years ago.
We couldn't find anyone to take our pic...haha.
Well we looked up city garden to see how far away...and it was a 10 minute walk so we decided to go check it out.
We found the playground part. The girls were super excited to play.
Fun netting to go on for Addie.
Wow a playground with an arch view!! Pretty cool.
We found the water part of the city garden.
Here is the splash pad area. Super fun fountains everywhere.
Many faces of Ella.
She was chopping the water. Ha.
Ok so we didn't plan to go in the water since it was colder outside than normal. So we didn't wear suits or bring towels with us. Oops. So the girls had to walk back in their wet clothes to the hotel. It was a 15 minute walk but they did great! Nick then left to go get barbecue from Pappy's Smokehouse which was on the food channel. They were pretty good...still love me some KC barbecue more!!
We had a little time left in the day and decided to hit up the indoor pool on the 5th floor.
The chlorine smell was super strong and their were a ton of people in the pool but it didn't stop our girls.
Nick got in for a bit but couldn't take the chlorine burning his eyes above the water!
The view from the pool!
After a little swim it was time to hit the beds for some sleep!
We have more exploring to do tomorrow!!
Yay for family vacation.
