We made it home last night about 7:30, tired but glad to be home. We really enjoyed the Imax movie yesterday. It was called Wild California and had beautiful scenery of California. After the movie we stopped at the outlet mall and Tom got 2 pair of tennis shoes and I stopped at a wonderful kitchen store. We then went to the mall we ate lunch in Branson and then onto Springfield to the zoo.
Since we are members of the St. Louis zoo we got in for free and that is my price! After our walk around the zoo, I understood why it was free. They didn't have a lot of animals and we walked the entire zoo in about 2 hours. In one area - called wild Missouri, we stopped at this one display and Alayna said that is a raccoon - we have those in our yard. The next display was 2 deer grazing, and she proudly announced that we have those in our yard. The next display was the red fox and again she said we have those in our yard. She then turned to me and asked - quiet loudly - "Grandma, when are we going to see something that we don't have at home?" Several people just looked at me funny - I am not sure what they were thinking!!
We got done with the zoo before Tom was done with his side trip so we went to the playground and she played for about 45 minutes before Tom showed up. Then it was onto home. After we got home Kristi wanted to see the DVD of the Presley show and was so happy to see Alayna several times on the DVD. Mom has watched half of the show and we will see the rest tomorrow.
