Zoozoozoo

The weather has been absolutely amazing here with temperatures in the 60s and low 70s. Because fall lasts for about two weeks in the Midwest, we have been taking advantage of this great weather before it turns cold again. Today, we explored the great outdoors at the St. Louis Zoo. Miranda has been to the zoo a few times before and for the most part was unimpressed. But this trip was the first time she was old enough to really enjoy herself.

We rode the carousel too many times to count. Miranda was a little apprehensive during the first ride, but by the end, she was running to pick her next animal to sit on.


At the children's zoo, there was a courtyard with goats in it. Miranda kept saying, "dog, woofwoof." When I told her that they weren't dogs; they were goats and said baah like sheep. She said, "dog, baah."


Miranda only sat on the frog for about a millisecond. She was a little freaked out by it.


Also at the children's zoo, there was a miniature farm for kids to play in. This was probably Miranda's favorite part. The farmhouse had a small door on its side that Miranda would climb through, run out the front door, run around the house to the small door, and climb through again and again and again.

When we were leaving, I took Miranda out of her stroller and set her on a sidewalk so I could open the car door. As soon as her feet hit the ground, she ran back toward the zoo entrance yelling, "zoozoozoo, zoozooozoo." I think that we will have to make another trip to the zoo again soon.
