STL - Zoo and Baptism

We went to St. Louis a few weekends ago for the baptism on my newest niece Annalise!  Ted and I are lucky enough to be her godparents, so we loaded up G for an STL weekend.  We hit up the zoo, which consumed our Saturday and then Sunday it was all about the baptism.

Outdoor restaurant by the zoo.

G learned that ducks like Cheerios!

Loving the zoo!

And the STL zoo is free!

Annalise has the funniest wide-eyed look that I tried to mimic.

The kitchen table is on carpet so G and I ate our cinnamon rolls on the kitchen floor.

Testing out the baby with toddler scenario we will be in very soon!

Baptism gown!

All the kids got to help bless the water.

Probably the best part of the baptism....the Lion King hold!

Godparents or spiritual leaders as my brother likes to call himself.

The happy parents.

 3 generations, so precious :)

The great grandparents.

This was a fun weekend!  I forgot shoes for Grace and we unsuccessfully tried to hunt down a Payless and ended up with new shoes from Target.  And, the 4 hour drive home turned into a 6 hour one due to a semi being on fire.  But hey, we got home with a new stuffed pink elephant from the zoo so everybody wins!
