Dear Henry,
About a month ago we went to the zoo. Boy, I am glad we went a month ago, it is 105 today! This visit you were very engaged in all of the zoo's activity. You've been making animal noises and identifying many by name for a while now and the zoo gave you an opportunity to sharpen your skills. You really love elephants so one of the first things we did was watch the elephant show where you get the opportunity to "pet" the thing in person. I say "pet" because let's face it, even you, the king of the dirt eaters, wasn't willing to commit to more than a poke at the dirty, stinky ginormous beast. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not an elephant hater, quite the contrary) As the elephant made her way out into the ring you pointed and "phhhhhhhhhhhhhh" to welcome her. You became so excited exclaiming and wiggling around. After that you were pumped for more animal action. Some of your other favorites...
*the dolphins
*watching the walrus swim
*peeking at the baboons fighting
*petting the sharks
*the seals
We can't wait to take you to the St. Louis zoo!
Love, Mama
