The Hogle Zoo with cousins!

Bre, Landon and Savanah came to Utah to visit and while they were here we went to the zoo along with Diana, Gracie, Ryan, Tina, Paisley and Ty.  The kids had a great time.  Right when we got there and headed down the hill the kids saw a zoo keeper holding a snake and Payton went straight for it.  If I remember correctly Jayden, Madyson, Payton and savanah were the only ones who were brave enough to actually touch the snake!  We went on the carousel, watched the bird show (one of the bird landed right in front of us and just walked along the ground, it was so cool) and had a picnic lunch.  We got to see the baby elephant and the brand new little monkeys, which were adorable too.

They had a zoorasic theme going on at the zoo this summer so they had dinosaurs all over that were animated.  And one of them squirted water at the kids and they loved it!

 The kids all "rode" the wooden horses


The big elephant squirts water when it sneezes and Jayden wanted to stand right in front of it and it blew water right in his face.  He of course freaked out and I of courses was laughing!


These cousins love each other so much and miss each other, we can't wait until they visit again!
