Meet Me In Saint Louis!!!

"Hang Loosey!!!"

Oh My Goodness--It's Thomas the Tank Engine!!!

The St. Louis Zoo Rocks!!!


Happiness is the St. Louis Zoo's Choo-Choo!!!

It's official---My Mommy and Daddy RULE!!! Guess what they planned for me??? The planned a whole weekend of super fantastic fun just for me!!! They put me in the car Friday night and told me I was going to have a super long car ride. I was so mad I wouldn't even let Daddy speak to me---for hours and hours!!! (Mommy eventually felt sorry for Daddy because I really wouldn't let him speak to me and would tell him "Don't talk me!" anytime he said anything.

Anyway, when we woke up Saturday we had a little bit of a car ride left and eventually we were at the St. Louis Zoo!!! I was so excited. They had a Choo-Choo that went all around the zoo and I could ride it around and around the zoo all I wanted to!!! It was great!!! There were three tunnels---one of them was super long and super dark. I held Mommy because she was scared. I don't really think that she was scared, I think she was cold and was just trying to use me to keep warm!! Mommy is always cold!!! Mommy and Daddy eventually dragged me out of the zoo kicking and screaming. I had an absolute fit but they didn't seem to care. Lucky for them, I fell fast asleep in the car.

They eventually woke me up and I was not at all happy about that. That is until is saw that we were at THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE!!!! Oh my goodness, I got to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Apparently Mommy had this planned because she went up to the gate and told them her name and they gave her three tickets to ride Thomas!!!! I had a fit because I thought Mommy was going to put me on the car that was farthest from Thomas. I don't know why ever doubted Mommy. She carried me off and put me in the first car where I could ride and see Thomas!!! That train ride was the best!!! I also got to ride the smaller choo-choo that was there but it paled in comparison to Thomas. I also got a new Thomas Tanker Choo-Choo Car, a shirt, a hat, sunglasses and my very own Thomas watch!!!

Mommy and Daddy let me go back to the zoo on Sunday before we headed home. I got to ride the choo-choo all over the zoo again. Mommy says the next time we go we are going to have to see some of the animals there rather than just the tigers (they were in front of one of the stations and I kept yelling at the tigers to stop fighting). Once again they dragged me out of the zoo kicking and screaming because I would still be riding the choo-choo around the zoo if they would have let me. I was so mad at Mommy for making me leave that I did not talk to her for an hour. I was so mad at her that I didn't even bother to tell her not to talk to me. Anytime she said anything to me I would just grunt and hold my head down with my bottom lip pushed out. I think she thought it was funny because she kept pestering me!!! Anyway, Mommy promises that we can go back to the St. Louis Zoo again, maybe when the weather is warmer. I have a feeling she wasn't just making an empty promise!!

Well that is my big news!!
