A Day at the Zoo

We decided to take a day trip down to Salt Lake City on Saturday and go to the Hogle Zoo. Henry kept complaining that he "had nothing to write about at school" regarding his spring break activities. Poor Henry. He was particularly hard on William, since his brief illness forced a cancellation of our trip to the zoo on Thursday. After ironically explaining to him that it wasn't fair to be mad at his brother for being sick (hello, Cancer Boy - I don't remember anyone blaming you for anything illness-related over the past few months), he agreed that a Saturday trip would be acceptable; an additional bonus was that way Jay could come with us. The weather cooperated and off we went. It was a beautiful day and we had fun.

William really enjoyed the primates:

I would have more pictures to post, but any of them with Jay in them look something like this:
We got to see the new baby elephant:
Everyone rode the carousel:
We won't be taking any day trips for the next few Saturdays. Soccer starts this week which means we'll have two games each Saturday until mid-May. And we have a garden to plant. Well, Jay has a garden to plant. At any rate, we'll be busy.
