Hogle Zoo

Kevin, being the sweet boy that he is, was able to get free passes for all of my family to go to the zoo on Saturday. He is working there taking tickets.

It was quite a bit colder then I expected. It was great as long as the wind wasn't blowing then it became quite bitter. Kira and Katelyn had a great time looking at all the animals. Although as soon as we got out of the car, Kira would not crack a smile. She was the most somber looking child the whole time. She didn't like the big animals too much but she really liked the small animal enclosure.

Dean and Heather came, bringing little Kendal. She was adorable. What a cutie.
Kira liked the animals as long as they were smaller than her.

Kira and I and the elephants.

We then went to the Gorilla enclosure. They were huge and really close to the glass, Kira was very intimidated by them and wanted to leave immediately.

Measuring my little Gorilla!We were able to see the Rhino's up-close also.

Kevin was also able to get us a ride on the carousel. Kira was on a wallaby, while Kevin rode the red panda. Cassidy and Katelyn were a couple rows behind us.
I think the highlight for Kira though was getting to ride the train. The whole time she kept pointing at the train saying "Choo Choo, Choo Choo."

Later on we got out of the cold and went into the gift shop. I was able to get Kira a cute shirt from the Zoo that had a train on the front. She loves it. My Grandma also bought her a cute Giraffe, Kira calls it her baby cause it has a blanky.

While in the Gift Shop they had these large stuffed animals so I decided to take a picture of Kira on the Elephant. As soon as she got off she immediately sat on the tiger/lion and waited for me to take her picture. She is such a funny little thing.
Thanks Kevin for such a great day. We really enjoyed it, and can't wait to go back.
