At the St. Louis Zoo, they have an exhibit where visitors can pet the sting rays. The kids had a wonderful time. Elias wanted to stay all day. He learned from one of the zoo employees the names of the different sting rays. It was a very exciting morning for the kids.
Saul petting a large sting ray
Jesse was splashed by one of the rays early on and decided this kind of thing was not for him.
Saul petting another one. They would just swim around and you could put your hand in the water and touch their back. They were kind of slimy feeling. But, it was really cool.
These two were enthralled with the whole concept and came away quite happy and wet.
Here is, I think, the smallest ray there. His name is little Stuie. Elias liked him best of all.
