Family Night!

Once school starts, we rarely get a Saturday where there are no sports events or practices at KC and nothing else on the calendar.  When we realized today was one of those days, we took full advantage of it!  After nap time, we loaded up and headed to the St. Louis Zoo.  The kids went earlier this summer with Nonnie and Poppy, but we hadn't got to go as a family yet.  It was pretty hot out, but we filled up a big water bottle and made the most of it.  We saw lots of animals out and the kids had a lot of fun.  I love that there is so much to do in St. Louis and that we are just a short drive from it.  Here is our only family shot of the day.

 Hannah, of course, wanted to pose by herself -- even if she is being photobombed by her brother!

 Our last stop was the River's Edge area.  Cam got up close & personal with Mr. Hippo!

 And a little sibling love before leaving the zoo.

Once we left, we headed to the Loop for dinner at Fitz's Root Beer.  It was the kids' first time there and they loved the fresh orange soda!  So glad we had an empty day to spend as a family!
