Hogle Zoo

This weekend we had Ernie and Jessica come and visit. We had a good time sitting around listening to Joel and Ernie reminisce about when they were younger and all the crazy things they did. We decided we wanted to go to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.

Here is a picture of Joel and me. My sunglasses are actually the ones Joel bought for himself on steep and cheap and then realized they were the color pearl and look kind of feminine. So I got a new pair of glasses :)



Here are the Elephants...with the baby its name is Zuri. It was so cute!!

Here is another where they were coming closer to us.

We also saw the rhinos. We got to feel a replica of the rhino skin and it felt so rubbery.

Here Joel, Ernie and Jessica are watching some animals.

They were watching the kangaroo...

and the black swans. We also saw a white swan that they had food that we could feed. Ernie fed it out of his had and it nibbled on his finger.

Ernie and Jessica.

It started to rain and here is a picture of the leopard hiding from the rain.

Joel and me.

Here is a picture of the tiger licking his paws...it reminds me of a kitty licking his paws.

The giraffes...I always love them with their spots. We noticed all the giraffes had horrible kinks in their necks...they need to go to the chiro bad!

This one was looking right at me.

We got tickets to ride the carousel... I LOVE CAROUSELS!!!! In this picture I was staring at all the different animals I could choose to ride and I couldn't decide...I was in awe. Then Joel took the picture.

Ernie, Jessica, and I decided to ride the carousel... Joel doesn't like spinning rides (even though it doesn't go fast the spinning was making him sick just watching us. So he took pictures.

I am on the Turkey...cuz I love turkeys! Ernie is on the praying mantis and Jessica is on the black bear.

We also rode on the train around the zoo. It was fun a little cold but definitely not long enough.

We did see the bison on the train ride though.
They are huge!

We had a really good time at the zoo and with Ernie and Jessica. :)
