Since I had to be at the 1/2 marathon at the crack of dawn, J and I along with my family went to St. Louis the day before and stayed the night. The weather was in the 70’s and it was the perfect day for walking around at the zoo. Apparently everyone else had the same idea and although it was packed, we had a great time and Ben got to do his favorite thing, ride the train.
The baby elephants were so darn cute.
And because I’m all about the nostalgia, here is our family pic in the same spot in 2009. Ben was 7 1/2 months old.
Riding the train. Ben would have been happy doing this the whole time.
