Today the Shoo family took a trip down to the St. Louis Zoo. Grayson has actually been to the Springfield Zoo a couple of times and enjoyed it each time. We thought it was time we expanded his animal knowledge. That and his parents really enjoyed it too.

Ready to see the animals. Was not a bit crabby today.

Hello baby elephant.

Mr. Hyena. We read a lot of books about animals in the Shoo household. We like to be formal.

Still can’t say “da-da.”

A flurry of flamingos.

Hello Mr. Puffin.

This is George. Or that’s what we’re going to call him. Doesn’t it look like he is smiling?
