Our Trip to the Zoo
On Monday we had to drive down to Salt Lake City and drop Aunt LeClaire at the University of Utah for a weeklong seminar that she is taking. Since we were there anyway, we decided to take a trip to the Hogle Zoo. The kids have already been once this summer, but it was a cool and rainy day and their day was cut short by a rain shower and they didn't get to see everything that they wanted. We got to see a brand-new baby giraffe - the zoo attendant said it was only three days old! We rode the train and the new carousel and had a fun lunch at the zoo. The only downside was the heat - it was 90 degrees already when we arrived at 10:30 am. But we managed to keep cool by staying the shade, drinking lots of water, and walking through the water mister stations that they have set up all over the zoo. It was a fun day!

We were at the zoo too on Wednesday. Must have barely missed. Wasn't the baby Giraffe awesome! Did not get to see the baby snow leopard though.
I guess you were there on Monday so we missed you by two days. Close though.
