Hogle Zoo

 I had the "great" idea to go to the zoo on Pioneer Day with my family. The zoo was not crowded, but getting to the zoo was a nightmare! We did our best to avoid the parade route, but it was the marathon that got us! So don't go to the zoo on Pioneer Day!

The kids loved sitting on all the animal statues. P1 especially wanted me to take pictures of everything.

 

 

 

 

 P3 liked watching the seals, sea lions, and polar bear.

 

 

P1's favorite part was the small animals exhibit. He wouldn't let us skip any of them, and got very upset if we tried to. P3 also pointed at a snake and said "Snake!".

 

Welcome Home Elder!

 By baby brother came home from his mission in Nebraska! It was great to see him again and for him to meet P3. The kids have enjoyed getting reacquainted with their uncle.

Handcart Days

The kids and I went to the Bountiful Handcart Days with my parents and sister. The kids had fun, and P2 was braver this year and tried more rides. They liked the inflatables. They had a caterpillar one where you go in the mouth and come out the rear. We told P1 to go through it with P2. Well....P1 came out quickly, but not P2! So we were getting a bit worried that she was stuck inside and probably crying. A worker went in after her and brought her out. She was perfectly fine and had just been having fun inside. Silly kids!
