Ottertoberfest at the Zoo

We didn't see any otters at the St. Louis Zoo today, but we did have some beer and bratwursts in honor of Ottertoberfest! That's a real thing, by the way. I didn't make it up. We made the trip and had a fantastic day in St. Louis with the Chandlers - Brian, Janelle, Blake and Madilyn.

Sophia was giddy with excitement this morning at the prospect of seeing every animal with her friends. After two hours in the car, she wanted to go home... Fortunately, she and Blake and Madilyn revived quickly upon arrival.



There was no shortage of things to do or see. We rode the train and saw lots of animals. We still didn't get close to seeing them all! Of course, Sophia is always entertained by the simple things.



Here's a picture I took of the Chandlers. Don't be surprised if this is their Christmas card photo this year.



It was cool and breezy today. My favorite weather for doing pretty much anything outside. I think the wind did take it out of all of us just a little. We felt pretty worn out by the end of the day. So tired we could just lie down on a rock...
