Vacation Day 2: The Zoo

We woke up sleepy from the long drive but ready to have a good time. We ate breakfast with Nana, dropped her off for her convention and then headed to the zoo. Before we got to Utah I had done tons of research as to where we should spend our time in Salt Lake. The Hogle Zoo is rated as one of the best in the world....so we had to go! It was hot and dry but luckily we bought souvenir cups and ice cream to help us keep cool! We had a great time! This isn't the largest zoo I have ever been to but all of the habitats are nice and new...it looks like a wonderful place for these animals to live! Here are some pictures of our day.

Talking about Rhinos...did you know multiple rhino's are called a 'Crash' and they can run up to 60 mph and only see 30feet in front of them...thus the name 'Crash'!!

we got to go inside the giraffe's home and see him up close...pretty cool!

my favorite part of the day...sitting in the shade watching the elephants get a shower...the baby was so cute...running around trying to drink all the water! One of the coolest things I have seen at a zoo!

We visited the gift shop on the way out and bought a few friends to commemorate our day...then we hung out in our air conditioned hotel room for a while! 

Until tomorrow...
Love, 
Mommy/You boys were so good today...you are making vacation so easy and fun!
