Utah Hogle Zoo

Leah has been out of school for the last half of this week do to Kindergarten Assessment (She did great BTW) and so was Maddie, our little cousin from San Diego who just moved here. They don't live super close and Leah and Maddie have opposite schedules for school. Getting together has proven rather difficult... so when we found out they were going to have time off at the same time we jumped on the opportunity to get together.

Wednesday we went to IKEA. Both Sarah and I enjoy going there and the kids enjoy it as well. It was a fun couple of hours of shopping for random things and having some lunch. Thursday we went to Utah Hogle Zoo and that was fun. The kids were so good. It was a wonderful day! The weather was perfect and the company was great as well. The girls enjoy each others company. There are not too many girls with the cousins and these two get along very well.

I don't know why we always have to pose for a picture on top of these statues?!?
But it is a cute photo

Leah and Mylo might be in the next Kung Fu Panda,
with these hats I think they would play the perfect part :)

We got tickets to the Carousel... always a good time, BUT Mylo insisted on sitting on a bench seat NOT a up-and-down animal, so he tagged along with some random ladies and their kids, it was funny.
We finished off the day with the bird show. The kids got to pose for a quick picture with an owl (I can't remember the name of it now... but it was big)

Of course we had popcorn... can't go to the zoo and not have popcorn.
