Hogle Zoo

While the Carters were in town last weekend, we decided the zoo needed a visit from us. Apparently, everyone else in Salt Lake also thought the same thing because it was packed. {Actually, the parking lot was packed. The zoo wasn't bad at all.} Anyway, it turned out to be a perfect day. It wasn't too hot and we had a nice breeze the whole time we were there. The animals were in good spirits also, and didn't spend the whole day inside and looking depressed.



This is a goofy-looking picture of Jakey... but his eyes look so great here. He had a little accident playing at Jack's house a couple days before this was taken and split his gums wide open. His lip is pretty swollen.


Jack with blue teeth.


The family.
Of course, we had to ride the train... and luckily, Jake's conductor hat was in my purse. :)









Love this boy.



Playing on the wooden horsey.








Mrs. Jumbo.



Sarah girl.



Blaine is so handsome.



This picture of Jack with Poppy is so cute.



We told Jake the baby elephant was Dumbo.



Jake took this picture of Doug and Jen.



And this one of Daddy and Sarah.



Riding the carousel... {there are a lot of these}.















Sarah's expression here is so funny.















I think it's so funny that she looks like she is riding by herself here.





Awe... Miles.





Jack and Jake were having fun playing with their zoo animal drinks.











Eating Nona's ice cream cone.



The giraffes.



Markelle and Jack-man.



Trying to be big.





Nona and Sarah.




Sleepy Miles.



Baby Van.



Just look at this kid. So cute.



Jen's such a cute mommy.



This girl fought sleep all day and was asleep before we left our parking spot.

I'm not such a fan of the zoos. They freak me out. But you've kind of made me want to take spencer. He probably would enjoy it. I love grandma and grandpa time with the kiddos. Glad they could come visit!

We have a bunch of cute Carter kids. Fun trip. I love how bored Sarah looks on the carousel, and the one of the boys in front of the gorilla outlines. So cute!

You look so cute in all these pictures and so young holy cow, I can't believe those two kids are yours and we were just sitting in the benches listening to Bishop Richards lecture us on "sleepovers." blah, blah, blah. :)
