End of Summer Spectacular

Well, I don't know how spectacular it was, but this past weekend we took the kids to Salt Lake City as kind of a last hurrah before school starts.  We went to the Hogle Zoo, City Creek Center, and the new Utah Museum of Natural History.  We ate at Cheesecake Factory and the Pie Pizzeria.  We stayed at a hotel and swam in the pool and the hot tub.  It was a fun 24 hours away and the perfect way to end our carefree summer days.

A few pictures:

This polar bear is at the new Rocky Shores exhibit.  It was playing with the crowd and kept swimming right up to the glass:
 William and Tessa really liked the giraffes:
 The baby elephant was really cute:
 William was in skull heaven - he loves stuff like this:
 William also loves bighorn sheep.  We got to watch the zoo worker feed it a treat of romaine lettuce:
 The train was out of commission for the day but we did ride the carousel:
 The carousel made William nervous, but then again so do lots of things:
 Henry and Tessa were monkeying around:

The Natural History Museum was awesome:


 Again, fossils and skulls made William very happy:

We had a fun day:
