We traveled to St. Louis during Brooklynn's fall break for the second year in a row. The weather wasn't as good as last year but overall it wasn't bad. We left Thursday morning and made it all the way to St. Louis Zoo with only one stop! We planned it out that our stop would be to eat lunch at a McDonald's play-place so that the kids could get some pent up energy out. That they did!
We went straight to the zoo so we would have enough time to go through everything this year. Last year we didn't have enough time and a few sections were closed due to construction. Once again the zoo was decorated for Halloween so we captured a lot of festive shots....
Although it was quite windy which made it chilly (hence our coats, hats and gloves) we were sheltered by the exhibits and trees most of the zoo. However a lot of animals were out because it was sunny and cool. Here are a few animals we found interesting.

| Brooklynn was captivated by the free-roaming peacock. |

| We witnessed a real cat fight! |
 |
| A true king of the moutain! |
I couldn't help but add this video at the zoo for two reasons: how Braxton follows around his big sister and how Brooklynn puts it to Heath after his efforts to rush them through.
We enjoyed our time covering all of the zoo, having a great family day.
Once we closed the zoo down we headed in rush hour traffic out towards O'Fallon to visit the McGhees. We picked up Chinese take out and hung out around the house so that the kids could play, the guys could watch the World Series, and the gals could chat! As always it was a good visit but just not enough time! We even ended up staying the night there instead of going to Malissa's.
