Hogle Zoo

I was looking for things to do the night before this day for

Owen because he was getting bored of being home with me

while the girls were at school.  The thought came to me

to go to the Zoo.  I had heard that the zoo had free days.

And to my luck the next day was the last free day of the 

season.  We went to the Hogle Zoo with Kami and Emery.

It was very crowded and half of the zoo was still under

construction but it was free and Owen loved seeing the 

animals and hanging out with his cousin.  

We packed a lunch and made a day of it.  

It was beautiful weather we hated to leave.  

But I had to get home to pick the girls up from school. 

We stopped on the way home

for a treat which Owen missed out on because

he had fallen asleep driving home. 

Owen's favorite was the Elephants. 

We had to do a bit of convincing for him to stand next to

the Gorilla statue.  

And even more convincing to stand next to the

Elephant statue.
