Hogle Zoo & The Gateway

 ***PICTURE OVERLOAD***
Jeff had to go to Phoenix for a week for work. It worked out well to have him fly out of Salt Lake, then the kids and I stayed in Logan.  We dropped him off at the airport and then headed over to Hogle zoo.

All ready to go!
 Such a sweet little cowgirl :)
 and of course the handsome cowboy
 The big elephant. My kids have never been big fans of loud noises, so we had to hurry and get a picture when it wasn't making any noise!
 We liked all the dinosaurs that they have added around the zoo
  Cute elephant and her momma
 Fun to watch her reach up high for a snack
 
 Rhino
 Posing on the fake rhino
 We walked past these and the kids had to play on them. Kaleb would have stayed there all day if I hadn't drug him away!
 
 Giraffes
 
 Everyone posing on the tigers
 so photogenic :D
 My mom was nice and bought us all some refreshing water! It was very much needed, and the best thing was you could refill them anywhere in the zoo for free!
 The camel was getting weighed
 Weird how this ones humps were all slumped over. The lady explained why it was, but I don't remember now :)
 Nothing can go wrongo I am in the congo!
(apparently Brittany is afraid of gorillas) haha
 
 She chose to ride this one...interesting choice. I'm sure I had a picture of Kaleb, but I don't know what happened to it.
 Playing around on the dino
 
 
 
 Jenna didn't mind the gorilla ;)



 Riding the train, Jenna was trying out some new smiles or something I guess





 Cooling off at the water ball
 
 We got done at the zoo around 5:00. I didn't want to head home at that point because 1. we'd hit rush hour traffic and B. I didn't want my kids to fall asleep and then wake up when we got home at bed time. So we went over to The Gateway and let them run around in the fountain.

Jenna took her pony out so that it wouldn't get wet-so she ran around like this for a bit :D
 Kaleb had his shirt off so she wanted hers off as well. Eh, she's only 2, why not?
 Kaleb LOVED it! We probably could have skipped the zoo and just gone here and he'd of been just as happy!
 Plugging his nose. I guess he was ready to dive in!

 Jenna wasn't too sure about it, so Brittany ventured out with her to show her it would be fun


 Then she left her
And she stood there covering her face
(it took me a bit to realize she was crying) :(
 Don't worry, I went and rescued her


We had tons of fun! The kids crashed when we got in the car and I crashed when we got home!
