Utah's Hogle Zoo

Since we know our days are winding down here in Utah, we have created a list of things we want to do before we go. Today we did one of those things and spent our morning at Utah's Hogle Zoo! What a fun day! The weather was perfect and the zoo was really fun. It isn't a really big zoo but the animals are really close. I have to give a little disclaimer, Crew will not wear hats so we had to lather sunscreen on him. So if his hair looks greasy that is why!
Crew is at a pretty good age for the zoo. Even though he can't tell you all the animal names, he can make most of their sounds. Of course, he is really good at monkey sounds!
This is the white alligator! Creepy!



By the elephant exhibit they have a giant elephant statue. It was a lot to take in as you can tell.

We had to get a shot by the cougars!
Those of you who knew Matt growing up know about his love for penguins! For some reason he has always been a big penguin fan but I have to agree they were one of my favorite animals today! They are such a funny animal.








No this is not at the zoo. Matt is currently making a surf board in our storage closet. He has his little section zoned off and even has a very attractive jump suit that he wears while he is at work. I must admit, it is actually pretty impressive what he is creating. We will keep you up on its progress.

What a fun Zoo. Sure beats the AZ Zoo. I am so excited to see your little buns in Sunny California. Can I put an order in for Matt?? Willie could use a new board for Fathers Day:)

That is a great idea to see the sites before you leave. Hogle Zoo would definitely have been one of my picks. Crew always looks so happy!! You look awesome as well Shan! And how neat is that...Matt making his surfboard. He acts like he is going to be living close to some good surf or something? Ahhh! I am SO jealous. You had better know we are coming to visit you guys! P.S. Are those owl feet still in that storage closet???? I think I can see them right behind Matt's head ;-) So many memories.....
