Going to the Zoo

Saturday night we went to the Zoo with Ryan's family.

When we first moved here we had a zoo pass and went pretty regularly, but we had not been for about a year and a half so the kids were excited to go. It was not until we got there and started looking at the animals that I realized Joshua had been a baby when we had our pass and this was his first real zoo experience. Every time we would see a new animal Josh would yell in his excited voice and tell us what animal he was looking at. He really likes the baby alligators.
We also attended the bird show where Joseph answered one of the questions correctly and got a coupon for a free gallon of chocolate milk. After the show they let us come take a picture with the bald eagle. Josh started to go stand by the bird for the picture, but then decided not to.
(If you look closely you can see Josh's hand on the edge of the picture)


The animals were all really active that night and it made it even more entertaining. I forget how much kids enjoy seeing the animals. I need to take them back a little more often.

We are so lucky to have a zoo here, it's a great nice-weather afternoon activity for the whole family.

To answer your question about the hikes, one was Guardsmans Pass and the other was just off of Wasatch to the resevoir behind our houses, but I can't remember the exact name of it. Liz and I want to do it again and actually go to the waterfalls next time. We'll let you know if you want to come...depending on schedules and weather it may be an activity for next spring/summer. It was work in some parts, but so fun!

That's awesome. When they are really experiencing the zoo for the first time it is amazing how excited they are. We did that this past spring and Cali went nuts. Gotta love the zoo.
