During one of our trips to SLC we decided to make a fun day out of things and visit the Hogle Zoo -- it was such a fun, but HOT day! I'm pretty sure we went on one of the hottest days this summer -- we were pushing high 90's -- but the kids were troopers and Jackobi is still talking about it! Her favorite animals were the elephants (she loved the baby elephant pictured above) and the giraffes. Kashton liked everything and is a champ at making some pretty comical animal sounds to go along with everything.
Kashton's little cheeks are pretty rosy from the heat, but he was all smiles! I think his favorite animals were the seals. Probably just because they would swim right by the glass so he could get a good look. Jackobi liked them too, but inside the seal exhibit were the big sea lions. I think they were a little too big and too close. They made her pretty nervous.
and just when the heat had gotten to little miss Jackobi ... we rounded the corner to the carousel.
instant mood changer .... she had been asking for it and the train all day.
wish come true. and just in time.
Kashton was a fan as well. He kept bouncing saying "giddy-up, giddy-up!"
Grandpa teaching Jackobi about the finer things in life :: how to keep cool in the "mist fans" :: I'm pretty sure we all visited them a time or two before the day was over.
we ended things off with a ride on the train. it was such a fun day at the zoo. Jackobi and Kashton are both at such fun, inquisitive ages. They're always up for a little adventure - I need to remember to be more like them and savor the little "adventures" in life.
