Utah's Hogle Zoo

On the 4th we ventured out to the Hogle Zoo! I love this zoo. It is beautifully kept and it sure is great exercise! We had a fantastic time spending most of our day here.


Here we are at the entrance to the zoo
Aaron, Lilly, Heather, Candace, Bella and Dan right before the start of our adventure
The rare white alligator. It was really cool to see. They say that there are less than 10 still alive!
This was a really cool elephant. Anytime someone would walk bye or sit on the trunk it would either play music, sneeze, and even fart! It was really funny to watch!

Here we are in front of the Giraffes

The best part was that we got to go inside where they are kept. We just stood there and watched them come in and eat and then head back outside again. It was definitely the best way to get up close with one of these animals!

Aaron and Lilly on the Carousel. She wouldn't sit on the animals, but she loved sitting in the bench and she loved even more going around in a circle. She was mad when we had to get off!

Since the girls wouldn't ride on the animals, Candace and I decided that we would. What a way to bring back childhood memories!

Here are the girls. Can you tell how tired they are looking. It has been a long fun day in the zoo!

I have always wanted to go to a real zoo ( I don't think Tautphaus Park in I.F. counts), so we're hoping to go to Hogle zoo in August. Thanks for the preview pics! It looks so fun!
