Exploring Hogle Zoo

Yesterday we decided to take advantage of our last trip to Utah (for a while - since I have been there for the past 4 weekends and traveling gets more miserable as time gets closer for the baby to be here). So we spend the day at Utah's Hogle Zoo. It was fun to spend the time with the family but I was a little disappointed with the zoo - lets just say it's no San Diego Zoo! A lot of the animals were sleeping in the buildings which there was no access to or the whole exhibit was closed. They had a baby giraffe that was a few days old I wanted to see but they closed down the exhibit. Even though there was a lack of animals Austin had fun with his cousins and he loved looking at the few monkeys we saw and all the different "kiki's" they had. It was so cute. Every time we saw a cat (lion, tiger, bobcat) he would point and say "kiki". He is a little cat lover - and on the other hand he hated the snakes! Thanks Grandma Jan for taking us to the zoo!

The Elephants:

Did you know that Elephants are pregnant for 24 months!?!?

Crazy huh, and I am complaining about 9!

This elephant is 20 months a long.

Baby Jakson - doesn't he have gorgeous blue eyes!!

My big boy, he can drink out of the lions mouth now!

He is getting so tall!

Here is Danee in her little "Short Boat"
