The Hogle Zoo


This last Friday we decided that we needed to have some family time before Zac starts school on Wed. So we decided to take a trip to the zoo. Of course the kids loved every minute of it. They are so funny. Zac and Britters are up for seeing anything and this time our little Jaxon was so much fun. He would giggle and point and jibber jabber every time he saw the animals moving. He thought it was so great.



The first thing we did of course was ride the train. The kids love it but to me it is such a waste. It literally lasts maybe 3 minutes and is so cheesey. Oh the things we do for our kids.



Then we walked around and saw the animals. The white alligator is always a favorite. As are the monkey's and the Zebra's. We had lunch and then we went to the bird show. It was so great. All of the kids loved it and I think it was the highlight of our trip to the zoo. They have just finished the new amphitheatre for the bird show along with a carousel. It is so nice and shady and it was so much fun. The birds flew right over our heads and a couple of the birds flew in between Conan and I and brushed our hair. It was so fun. They are great there. We had a wonderful day and are so happy that the zoo is only an hour away so we can visit a few times a year. It was great to have a family day and be together. It is so fun to watch the kids reactions and just enjoy each other.
