The boys slept in til 8, which Justin and I were very happy about. We woke up to see that Uncle Lee, Aunt Dana, Alex, Andy, and Zac made it to the hotel late the night before. We had breakfast together and then went outside the front of the hotel to see a parade passing by. The kids all loved the candy and necklaces that were given out. Once the Minnesota crew (Aunt Dawnie, Uncle Duane, Kim, Theron, and now Kayley) arrived we headed out to the St Louis Zoo.
The zoo there is huge and there is so much to see. Of course the boys loved seeing the hippos, but there were also seals, elephants, a huge penguin exhibit, a children's zoo (which we didn't go to), monkeys galore, and a train that went around the whole zoo. I would say we were there for a good four hours and only saw a third of the zoo.
After the zoo everyone went back to the hotel to take naps. However our boys fell asleep before we even left the parking lot so we just drove around for an hour or so while they napped. Once they woke up we went to Dawnie's room and the boys got to eat a bunch of sweets and play with Theron. For dinner that night the hotel found a place for our gang of 21. We ate dinner where all 9 kids acted very well and then it was onto bed. Once again no problems with the boys falling asleep.
