The St. Louis Zoological Park

This is the Polar Bear. He was walking around and playing in the pool. Bears say, "Raaahhhrrrr!"
This is a Puffin. They live in the same house as the penguins but look sorta like ducks. They can fly but penguins can not.
This is my penguin, St. Louis. He is very soft. I picked him out all by myself. I take him with me everywhere that I go. I like to snuggle St. Louis.
Me and St. Louis are checking out the flood on Lacleed's Landing.


These penguins were outside and they are so stinky! They eat fish.
These penguins are inside and are really fun to watch. One of them splashed me! I watched them for a long time. It is very cold in their house.
This is a Rock Hopper Penguin. They have funny hair.

Daddy's Shoes & The Roberts Mayfair

This is the hotel where we stayed in St. Louis. Daddy had to go to a conference there for Big Brothers Big Sisters. It's called The Roberts Mayfair hotel. It is a historic hotel and they are credited with starting the chocolates on the pillow tradition that many hotels still do.
I am waiting for Daddy to bring our car around.
The Roberts Mayfair has an old Rolls Royce sitting out front.
They use it to shuttle people to and from places.

These are my Daddy's shoes and I am walking around in them in our hotel bathroom.

My Trip To Greenville

In this picture I am sitting in a tree...but don't worry, Mommy is not far off so she can catch me if I slip.
This is Hogue Hall. Mommy & Daddy were supposed to be married on these steps but it rained that day so they got married in the church across the street. This building is 150 years old and has to be torn down and reconstructed now because the bricks are falling apart. Each brick was made my hand by the women who attended the college in the mid 1800's. Daddy is helping to raise the money for the new building.
Me and Mommy are peeking through two trees. Mommy thinks they look like "dancing trees."
