Hogle Zoo

The forecast was for a lovely 80 degree day, so we jumped at the chance to hit the zoo and toted our fun neighbors along too.  It seemed that everyone else in the valley had the same idea.  There was no parking and when I asked the attendant what was going on she said, "Um, it's summer."  Oh.  Guess I'm usually more of a spring/fall kinda zoo gal.  Skip the sweltering heat, the sleeping animals, and the crowds.  Must be my Dad's daughter.

Waiting for the bird show which never disappoints.
The back row proved to be quite an exciting place to sit as the birds flew right over our heads many times.

At the new Rocky Shores exhibit and the girls with their best "bear" impressions. 

Ethan was thrilled.

I often think I could just drive to the South Towne Mall and hit the carousel and my girls would be just as happy as going to the zoo.  They don't stop asking when they can ride it until we do.  London remembered from last time that she wanted to ride the lady bug and ran around until she found it.

Addy picked the ever popular snow leopard.  I think she picked it because Megan wanted it (nice friend) but luckily the cheetah next door opened up and they were able to ride next to each other both with smiles on their faces.
