Our Trip to the Zoo

We were invited to go to the Zoo on Wednesday, and everyone had a blast. Unfortunately, it was really cold when we got there. It did get sunny and warm up a bit just as we were getting ready to leave...go figure! The kids loved it, and they had so much fun being with all their friends. For me, the highlight was definitely seeing the giraffes!! I tried to get a photo of the baby giraffe's long tongue while he was eating, but my timing was off a little (the flash on the camera slowed things down a bit). A little later, while we were in looking at the gorillas, the kids witnessed a "gorilla family fued". The new baby gorilla was jumping around and playing with a stick, and she ended up hitting the daddy gorilla on the head. The daddy gorilla wasn't very happy about that, and he picked up the baby by the head, swung her around, and tossed her to the side. Well, the mommy gorilla came over and tried to grab the baby before the daddy tossed the poor thing, but she was a little delayed. She just went over, picked the baby up, took her to the corner and had a little time-out. There were 7 or 8 little girls (and Zach) who all saw the same thing...it was very exciting, and they were all cracking up....it was hilarious!

Yesterday, we took a trip up to Park City to shop the outlets. That was a lot of fun...a little chaotic at times, but still fun (who doesn't love to shop?)! I guess I'll go for now. Zach has a buddy coming over in about an hour and I still need to get showered and dressed. YIKES! Have a great day! Love, Kim

What a fun time. That is one zoo we haven't been to yet. It's on the list. :) Always neat when you see wildlife in their glory!
