Last Wednesday, August 18th, we took the kids up to Hogle Zoo for a last family outing before schools starts. After a very long and frustrating detour because of an accident on I-215, we arrived at the Zoo and went straight to the train!![Image][Image]Here's our attempted family picture before the train got going.[Image]Pat & Xander got close to some animals.[Image]We were able to see Baby Zuri, the 1 year old Elephant.[Image]The kids got to ride on the Carousel.[Image][Image]And saw a big Ostrich![Image]Xander's favorite: A Snake![Image]And this animal is called a Mara or Patagonian Cavy. Our Mara wasn't very happy that this animal had the same name as her :)[Image]We saw alot more animals, but didn't take many pictures of them.[Image]It was a not-so-quick trip to the Zoo, but we were lucky and left right before the rain started. Afterwards we went to the family favorite Red Robin for some lunch, then visited with Grandma Ethel before she left Utah.[Image]It was a very fun day to be together as a family :)
