Yaeger Family Vacation... Volume Four

And now, for the last installment of the Yaeger Family Vacation.
Our last day in St. Louis we headed over to the St. Louis Zoo for a WILD time! The assortment of animals we were able to lay our eyes on was astounding. Of course, we enjoyed the zoo mostly through the eyes and ears of my nephew, George and his cousin Nick who is four. We visited the children's petting zoo where Grant went crazy over the guinea pigs and meerkats. It was an eventful day and Grant took a solid two hour nap in his stroller while we enjoyed the sights. Enjoy the pics from Grant's first zoo visit!

Mom, "Can I take one home?"

Grant loved the llamas. I was too afraid to go near them, I thought they might spit on me!
George loved brushing this goats coat. After brushing him, he picked up rocks and threw them at the poor billy goat.
The rhinos were my favorite. I had no idea how massive this animal is!
Our little boy all tuckered out which made for a peaceful zoo visit for Mommy and Daddy
Our group heading towards the elephants
Tigers!
The penguins were adorable!

The Yaeger's had a wonderful family vacation and we were ever so thankful to fianlly be home after a LONG car ride the following Saturday. Ron and I both vowed to NEVER drive that far again with Grant. My little boy is the best but having a nine month in the car for 11 hours straight is enough to drive anyone temporarily insane and plus I just felt like a bad Mom. It was worth it though, our trip was a memorable one!
