Lions, Tigers, & Bears - Oh My!

Last week Becca and I took the kids and braved the hot weather (neither of us are big fans of heat) and went to the Hogle Zoo. We have made this an annual summer tradition. It turned out that it wasn't really too hot until the end and it was cloud covered quite a bit of the time!


Hadley and I on the little train ride around the zoo. She was so cute to watch because she was absolutely fascinated by the entire thing!
Cute family picture (minus Jesse)!
We got to see this amazing elephant show! Besides the fact that there was an adorable little baby- who knew 8,000 pound animals could do such cool things!



Sadly the carousal was one of Luke and Livi's favorite parts!! Livi remembered that she didn't get to go last year so she has been waiting an entire year for this. Hadley and I decided to sit on the bench and watch since I wasn't willing to pay $3 for us to ride and her not even to know what was happening :)



So funny but if you look really close at Hadley's feet in this picture this is how she rode the entire day. Feet resting up on the drink holder just hanging out!

Besides the lack of sleep for the babies (which actually didn't even show with either of them) it was a fantastic day!

Oh and by the way we the Hogle Zoo doesn't have lions, the tigers were asleep, and they took the bears out! Haha!

We loved the elephants! They were so fun to watch. We were disappointed with the whole no bears and no lions, but we still loved going. I agree about the carousel. I can't understand paying a bunch of money when they're just as happy to be tossed in the air.

That's awesome! I love how her feet were resting like that. Too cute!
