May 12th: Om Rik and Dad take Willem to the Zoo

Oom Rik arrived last on the 11th to help us with the big move out to Phoenix. But before we put him to work, we went to the St. Louis Zoo. There was a Stingray exhibit there that had just opened and we didn't want to miss it!

The way the exhibit was set up, you could put your hands in the water and pet the stingrays and you could feed them as well. Willem was excited about the water and kept trying to reach in the pool. The girl next to us had food for the stingray in her hand so the hungry stingray swam to the top of the water to eat. The stingray flopped around while eating and sprayed us all with water. Willem didn't like that at all refused to be down near the water after that.
We also went to the monkey house which is one of Willem's favorites! Although he's torn--watch the monkeys or watch the other kids--both are equally entertaining for him.
