UTAH HOGEL ZOO

Friday night my little brother and his fiancee came over to ask if we wanted to go to the Hogle Zoo with them on Saturday. We SHOULD have been packing, but the zoo sounded like a lot more fun, so off to Salt Lake we headed. We weren't there for too long before it started raining and later drove home in a flash flood! Crazy Utah weather! The past couple of weeks have been so cold and rainy it almost feel's like the beginning of Spring again. Oh well, we need the water!


Isin't she cute? She's currently pregnant and due at any time.....


We went on the train ride which I SWEAR to you was a lot longer when I was younger. Oh well, it was still fun!


After the sweet train ride we headed over to the gopher holes and the play area. Ya, the people probably thought we were crazy as we didn't have kids with us but were still playing around. We were actually looking to take different photo's for the wedding (at least, that's what we were telling ourselves!) I love Alan's turtle pic.....I was laughing so hard when he was trying to crawl inside the shell I was almost crying. You should have seen some of the kids faces as they watched him....priceless!


We of course had to take the classic "how do you measure up?" pics....


After which he headed in to see the monkey's (sorry about the poor quality of the picture....Alan changed the setting and I forgot to change it back before taking the pic):


(couldn't resist adding the last one!)
Finally, before the heavens decided open to open and completely drench us, we went to see the penguins because hey, who can resist them?


All in all it was a pretty fun day. Although we didn't get any packing or cleaning done, it was totally worth it. Thanks Steve & Kelley for inviting us!
