Hogle Zoo

This week is Spring Break for the kids. While I would rather be in San Diego, we couldn't make the trip this year since Rob had a meeting in Salt Lake on Wednesday and is on the staff for Woodbadge Thursday through Saturday. So we've dealt with the crummy, not-so-spring-like weather the majority of the week. We went to the ice skating rink on Tuesday and on Wednesday it was actually a nice day so we took a trip down to Salt Lake to go to the Hogle Zoo.

With Trevor in charge of the trusty map, we were able to make our way to see all the animals...

We always love to see the baby elephant...so cute! 

Rhinos...

Crocodile...

Ashlee with a Sand Cat.  She thought it was sooooo cute....

Trevor and a couple of porcupines...

This giraffe came really close to the rock wall, but then of course everyone rushed to see it and it walked away...

The tigers were sleeping under a shelter when we walked by the first time but then when we went by again, two of them were walking up the hill and settled right by the fence...

Orangutans...

After we saw all the animals, we decided to ride on some on the carousel...

I think the kids sometimes think the statues of the animals are more fun than the live ones...
