Kyle loved the polar bear! |
We spent a couple of days with Aaron's parents and brother the last weekend in July for our reunion. We had a great time at the zoo. The kids have been excited to go all summer.
I think two of the highlights of the zoo were the polar bear and the elephants. We got to see these in action and they were really neat! Since we last went to the zoo, they have added a new exhibit- Rocky Shores- the sea lions, otters, and polar bear. These were all very active and fun to watch.
Of course, another highlight of the zoo was the carousel. For some reason, the carousel always attracts kids. They probably would have ridden it over and over again if it didn't cost extra.

The elephants were great- we got to watch them in action and learn more about them.

By the afternoon, Jared and Jordan were completely exhausted (as we all were- I wished I could have lied down by them and taken a nap, too!) I just had to get a picture of the two of them snoozing in the stroller.
After the zoo, we were all so hot and ready to get wet. We headed to Liberty Park, where the kids had fun splashing in the water and in the "7-Canyons" park, where they have 7 mini replicas of the canyons in the Salt Lake area with little waterfalls and rivers the kids can splash in. I love it there! For some reason, I didn't get any pictures. After a hot day, it sure feels good just to soak your feet!
GREAT memories. Thanks to everyome for all your sacrifices to make this so fun!
