Graduation BBQ & Hogle Zoo

Since David graduated from UNLV with his Masters they decided to have a graduation party for him in SLC so all his friends and family from back home could celebrate with him. Justin, Anna, mom, Jackobi and were able to head down for the day too!

Look at our good BBQ'ing skills! Okay, really my mom did most of the work, but we made a good effort to help! Who knew BBQ'ing would be so much work!?

There was a great playground right next to where we had the party. The girls loved playing on the merry-go-round (there's not one at our local park anymore!) It was funny to watch them try and catch their balance as it went round and round.

Since we were in SLC already, we decided to hit up the Hogle zoo and see how the girls liked their first taste of the zoo!! Jackobi absolutely LOVED it! She was oohh-ing and pointing the entire time!

Her favorite by far were the elephants! They were feeding them so they were moving around and really active. She loved them! (and the monkeys too!)

However, none of the animals could compare to her excitement for the giant bags of popcorn ... it was really yummy!



Last time Sara got to watch Jackobi she introduced her to caffeinated soda and peanut butter m&m's ... this time is was flavored Lip Smackers .... you can tell by her grin she liked it!

And what would a trip to the Hogle zoo be without drinking from the lion's head fountain?? I was surprised it didn't freak Jackobi out, but she loved it!!

All in all, we had a great trip to SLC -- it was so good to see David and Sara!
