Hogle Zoo











The kids and I went to the zoo yesterday with our neighbors Shelley and Warren and their family. The kids had alot of fun and it was even nice and cool so the animals were out and playing. First we went and ate lunch over where the black bears are and they were out playing and wrestling with each other everyone thought that was cool. We also got to see the cougar jumping around. Kyler was signing up a storm: Zebra, Bear, Lion, Penguin, Monkey, Gorilla, Bird, Elephant, Lepard, Fish, Alagator, Sheep and Giraff. He loved it When we were over by the Elephants we met a family with a little boy who is 5 with Down Syndrome, from West Jordan. It's always nice to meet new friends. Their kids are so cute. They also told me about a "Camp Magic" that they are trying to get together for kids 12 and older with Down Syndrome. It sounds like it will be alot of fun. After we made it about half way around the zoo we let the kids all play at the park while us parents sat and rested a while. Then continued on and went and saw the rest of the zoo. The last animals we saw were the Giraffs, they have a baby and it is so cute. Now that we were all tired and Braxten was hungery, again. The kids and I went to McDonalds and ate and they played for a while before we came home and we all crashed.

Oh I love the zoo. Especially when it is smoldering hot, and you start to get blisters on your feet from walking forever, and when all of the animals are hidding out inside so you can't see them!!! Nothing like a nice trip to the Zoo!!!!! J/K It sounds like you guys had a good time. I had to laugh at the picture of braxten next to the gorilla, another six months and he should pass it up. Man that kid is tall!!!!LOL
