There’s something about seeing the father of your children perched precariously atop an unstable ladder, steel blade rake in his outstretched arm as he swats at the air, still several feet away from a dangling strand of Christmas lights that you guilted him into hanging onto a 30-foot pine tree, that makes you truly appreciate the raw power you harness within your female body parts.
It’s almost scary.
The holiday season is upon us here in St. Louis, which means that many St. Louis families are busy, busy, busy with shopping, decorating, and holiday gatherings.
Caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Don’t forget that our city offers many wonderful holiday traditions for families to enjoy, so gather your kids and take advantage of these fun and festive ways to celebrate the true magic of the holidays:
The animals aren’t the only creatures running wild at the St. Louis Zoo this spring. During the St. Louis Children's Hospital Make Tracks for the Zoo event, runners and walkers of all ages can participate in a 5K run/walk or a 1-mile race through Forest Park. Kids can burn off some energy in a 1, ½ or ¼ mile Kids Run. On race day, each runner can fuel up with a complimentary breakfast and will be entered in an attendance prize drawing. All ages • Race begins at 7:30 a.m. Prices range from $10 to $22. St. Louis Zoo.
Have you noticed all the neon fashion hitting the store 
shelves this spring? From day glow yellow purses at Target to shocking pink nail polish, the colors are so bright, you’ve got to wear shades. Whether we like it or not, the 80’s are back. Again. The decade of excess is also alive and kicking during Benton Park’s totally awesome ‘80s 5K and Kids Fun Run. Grab your two and four-legged kids for this kitschy, energetic family fun run through the historic Benton Park neighborhood.
With these cold temps, curling up in a little ball and watching Law & Order reruns until spring is a very appealing idea. But it’s time to hang up the Snuggie and have some frosty fun at the Zoo!
For four special Sundays, your family can celebrate everyone’s favorite arctic animal with penguin-related games and activities, animal biofacts, crafts and more during the Delta Dental Winter Zoo.
What do penguins like to do on a cold winter day? Play outside, of course! When the temperature is 50 degrees or below, several king and gentoo penguins that reside indoors will venture outdoors for a burst of winter fun with their keepers. They'll be waddling from the P&P Provisions gift shop to the entrance of Penguin & Puffin Coast for about 30 minutes. 2 to 2:30 p.m. Free. St. Louis Zoo.
