When I was so sick and needed to sleep one Saturday morning, Miguel and his parents took Isa to the Botanical gardens. This was my favorite picture from that adventure. She had such a great time, I could tell by how worn out she was by the time she came home. 
Sam on the train! Thank goodness for Mike. Sam took to him so well and had so much fun.
Isa riding on the carousel. She got a little freaked out after it started to move so she had to switch from the puffin she was riding to the stationary giraffe you see in the background.
All 3 kiddos by the giraffes. They're Caroline's favorites. We made sure to see everyone's favorite animal, but this was the only picture we got of all 3 looking at the camera.
Every kid in the metro area who has visited the zoo has a picture with Phil the gorilla. Isa and Caroline being true STL girls are no exception. That's Sam's head at the bottom of the picture, he was running away screaming.Between sharing a case of strep throat and bringing Sam back on 5 days a week we've had a pretty hoppin house around here. Last Friday Mike, Sarah, and I took Sam, Isa, and Caroline to the zoo. FUN! I love the zoo, as I've stated before, but I love it more now that I have my baby to share it with it brings everything into a new light! Everything that I thought was so mundane all of a sudden comes to life when Isa gets to experience it for the first time. It is one of the biggest rewards of parenthood.
