We got to the zoo and were greeted by about 10 school buses. I thought we'd be safe where it was a Friday. That's what I get for thinking on my own. It didn't seem too crowded though. We didn't have to wait in line for the carousel or the train. Nice!
We did see Jacob (nephew) which was fun for the girls. He was down with his class from Cache Valley. We also ran into someone from Mendon. What are the odds of that?
The temperature was hot. It ended up being around 80, which was plenty warm. About 5-10 degrees cooler would have been prime. We enjoyed the 8 bottles of water, the sunscreen, and the hats.
Our favorite part was the bird show. We were about three rows back and when the birds would fly over our heads you could feel the wind from their wings. It was a very interactive show and the girls really enjoyed it. If you look closely in this picture you can actually see the owl flying right at the camera. He's brown so you have to look close. Look between the middle and right pole just above the little boy's head. In fact, the owl's wing looks like its' going to touch the little boy's head.
It's not the zoo unless you ride on the carousel....
The train (waiting for it to arrive).....nice bubble blowing Ashley......
Get your picture taken at all he cool statues......
Above picture: so this isn't a real animal but there were a bunch of these robot dinosaurs all over the zoo. They were pretty cool. A couple of them even sprayed water.
Hannah took this picture....didn't know she was so "up close and personal".
After the zoo, we headed to Layton and had lunch/dinner at Red Robbin. Yummy! We arrived back home around 6 p.m. The kids ran right outside to jump on the trampoline and Dave and I collapsed on the couch!
What a fun day!!
