After Rachel's family spent Spring Break in St. Louis, Rebecca and Roman also came for a visit. The weather was again beautiful, so we went to the zoo again. The St. Louis Zoo is so large, we didn't duplicate much from the week before. The Reptile House was high on both families' list. :-(
Roman loves to climb as you will see in the photos. The photo above has him on Phil the Gorilla whom I remember seeing when I was a child at the zoo. He took great joy in harassing visitors by splashing them with water and tossing various food items out of his cage---the gorilla that is, not Roman.
The high-light of this visit was seeing the baby elephant and daddy Raja below.
Lately, I have been buying the kids "face-painting" rather than a trinket at the zoo store. Roman chose a dragon for his arm. That night we watched High School Musical Three and ate ice cream.
We finally got all of Kansas City's rain on Thursday, so Roman played in the basement, then donned Grandpa's raincoat for a walk in the drizzle.
We had a great visit---I wish the grandchildren lived closer, but I can't complain as long as I see them once a week---so who's next?
