I am writing to finally get in touch. I have NOT written a blog entry before, so excuse the fact that I am somewhat inexperienced.

 Last week we went to the Zoo. One of my favorite places is the Bird swamp Aviary. This is a white-crowned night heron.  I enjoy the swamp because it has historical value because it is one of the few remaining buildings from the 1908 St. Louis World Fair. Also, I enjoy how realistic the swamp is and how it is as though you are actually in a swamp. Except you don't get your feet wet.  You will find many wetland native birds in there.

I also enjoyed the anteater. I had never seen that creature before. Most of the exhibits at River's Edge are outdoors except for the birds of course. I think that the mongooses are cute, but you wouldn't want your fingers near their mouths! 

Another thing I enjoyed is the carousel, which has many hand-carved zoo animals which you can ride. For example, seals, zebras, snakes, chimpanzees, gorillas, and penguins.

Those were my favorite parts of the zoo. 

School starts next week and I am excited to see my fifth grade teacher, who was once-upon-a-time my third grade teacher. Which I find quite amusing. She was a very good third grade teacher, and so I hope she will be a very good fifth grade teacher.
