St. Louis Zoo

Saturday morning we woke up early and drove to St. Louis Zoo, eating McDonald's breakfast along the way. We packed a picnic lunch and spent all day there. It is a GREAT children's zoo. All the animals were easy for Katie to see; there are tons of animals, and best of all it is free!

Sarah had the official job of "Map Keeper". She was flawless.

We had a fun family picnic for lunch. Katie didn't like her sandwich; she just wanted to eat trail mix.

The Highlights:

the penguin house; the inside is arctic-ly airconditioned

the hippos actually moved quite a bit

Katie liked hissing at the turtles in the reptile house

And we did all this WITHOUT GETTING SUN-BURNED! This is quite the accomplishment for the fair-skinned Tanners.

Sarah is our little Spa baby. Her favorite activities are: bath time, being oiled and lotioned, scalp massages and being held. Such activities are guaranteed to stop any crying.

Gardening

Mother's Day weekend we planted an herb garden. Katie was daddy's little helper, she is an expert at playing in the dirt. She did a great job.

Baby blessing

Today was Sarah's baby blessing. Here are some pictures...enjoy! Funny moment of the day: When daddy was bringing Sarah back after the blessing Katie stands up on the pew and yells "Sarah come on" over and over while waving her back. Very cute and very loud :)

Grandpa Tanner came to visit this weekend. We had fun and were so glad her was able to come. We didn't get any pictures which is unfortunate because he has long hair and a beard right now.
