Hogle Zoo

On Friday the weather was okay so we decided to go to the zoo. We went with some friends, (Aaron's old mission companion and his family) and had a bit of a double date. We had fun at the zoo. It's a pretty good zoo with a lot of animals. I was kind of hoping Morgan would be more excited about seeing some of the animals that we'd read about in books and stuff, like elephant's and giraffes, but he took it all in stride. I think he liked the animals that he thought were kitty's the best. Like the fox, and some wild cats. He also really enjoyed the merekat's. They had a glass wall that the little creatures would come right up against. Morgan tried to touch it but the darn glass was in the way. So he just put his finger next to his eye and said "eye" wishing he could be poking it instead of the glass.

We took the little train ride. Did you know it costs a dollar now? It's not worth a dollar! You get on the train, wait a few minutes, finally go. The announcer starts: To the left is the duck pond where for only 25 cents you can feed the ducks, to the right is the zoo's gift shop where you can go and buy lots of stuff. Be sure to check it out. Don't miss the gift shop! There's some turkey's in those trees, and over here we have fake gravestones of outlaws. Please exit to your left. And then it's over.

All of us on the train. Notice Morgan's cup in both pictures. All I can say is, at least it's not his bottle anymore!

Observing the giraffes!

After the zoo we went out to dinner. Morgan and Elizabeth played together while we waited for a table. I didn't get the picture at a good time, but they were having fun.
