Seals and Sea Lions Photo Album, posted 2012-09-25
The St. Louis Zoo finished a new home for the seals and sea lions this summer.

Inflating the balloons for the 2012 Balloon Glow at Forest Park, St. Louis, MO. One of the few times that “inflation” is a good thing :-). (Click on image to enlarge and improve color)
