There's a place here in STL called GRANT'S FARM. It's one of my favorite places. Much less overwhelming than the zoo, but just the right amount of animals. The best part is the long tram ride (which can be breezy, a welcomed thing in our 100 heat indices) at the beginning...which winds through meadows of elk, buffalo...dissects goldfish pond...corners around ostrich & mountain goats...and distracts lots & lots of swan, geese, & ducks.
Then they drop you off & you're free to mosey around looking at various other animals. There are even some that you can feed.
There are animals shows too. We usually don't do these, but since we had the whole gang with us, we did BOTH shows. And bird show & an elephant show, which my kids loved as they both have a long-standing infatuation with the big grey guys.
It was a great day in June! And a fabulous last field trips with our beloved CA girls.

Looks like you had a great time. Have you had a fun summer? Mine is flying by. Back to school before you know it!
Praying for your mom as I rise tomorrow. Thanks for all your support and offers for help for VBS. It went great tonight. I'm off to catch a few zzz's. :)
That looks so fun. I'd love to see an elephant show - so would the girls!
