Zoo

Last weekend my sister and Travis invited us to go with them to a special event at the zoo for Governor Gary Herbert's birthday.

First things first...the train. The kids were so excited that our special wrist bands got us unlimited train and carousel rides.

Fascinated with the monkeys...



My favorite animal to see is the baby elephant. So cute. Wouldn't she be a fun pet!?!

Andrew, Lauren, Halle & Aidan

Aidan spent the majority of the time plugging his nose. He couldn't wait to get outside of all the exhibits.


I promise they had fun...

Aidan teaching Halle some of his fighting moves.

The best way to keep track of this little girl... We brought a stroller but I think she rode in it for all of 5 minutes. Aidan and Halle got much more use out of it.

One of the many carousel rides of the night...



We did actually see the Governor from a distance...

They passed out these giant cupcakes to everyone...20% cupcake 80% frosting.
Amy, Lauren, Halle, Aidan, Andrew, Avery, Me

They both licked most of the frosting off and then threw the cupcake away.


It was a very fun trip to the zoo. Thanks for the invite Amy & Travis!

(more zoo pictures to come from both Aidan & Halle's fieldtrips!)

Looks like a great family activity without the HOT sun and the crowds.:) Couldn't ask for anything more. I'm also totally with Aidan on the whole smell thing - it's gross!

Julie, this is absolutely adorable. I love all of the pictures, what a fun time!!! Gov. Herbert was lucky that you guys were able to attend his birthday bash, I'm sure it wouldn't have been the same without you. :)
