St Louis - Union Station and the Zoo

 We had a long weekend trip to visit Nathaniel's sister in St. Louis.  It's been several years since we've been there, and so we were long overdue for a visit.  We took just the youngest three kids and told the oldest three that they should plan a weekend visit themselves, which they plan to do in July.  We fit better in Autumn's house that way, and they were home to watch the dogs!

We went first to Union Station.  The koi pond was a huge hit.

Then we went into the Hall of Mirrors, which is based off of the 1904 World's Fair attraction.

It was fun.  Emry got a bit scared, but overall, he had a good time, and everyone else enjoyed it.

We headed to Autumn's after Union Station and a delicious side venture to a chocolate company.  Gyunay would have been happy to just sit and pet her cat Karma all weekend:

Friday morning had perfect weather for the zoo!  It was in the low 80s and breezy, so not too bad.  We went early to take advantage of the cooler mornings.  We were so glad that St. Louis zoo opens at 8 am, unlike most zoos.  It's cooler and the animals are more active.


They even had jellyfish!
