The zoo...again

So, it was 75 degrees in St. Louis on Monday. Wonderful. We took advantage of it and went to the free zoo to visit the giraffes and elephants, really the only animals Elliot actively looks for. But the giraffes were not in their area - what the heck? Where could they be? We found out that there was work being done in their yard, so they were inside, in their cages for the day. We could actually see them much more closely this way. Elliot just liked being able to run free through the building that housed the giraffes. He took a break from the running and sat on the bench for an entire 8 seconds at one point. Here you also see him staring at the carousel. We watched it for 3 rides. He didn't want to ride it, just watch it.
