Summer Vacation...The Zoo

One of the best parts of summer vacation is taking our mini vacations. This weekend was our first one to the zoo. Our first adventure was getting on a flight to Salt Lake. This was our first time flying out of the new airport. It is such a beautiful building everyone just walked around checking everything out. Too bad it was the last flight of the night and the smaller 30 seat plane and not the jet.

Look at all the new stuff.

It was a late night by the time we made it Grandma & Grandpa's house for a quick visit and off to bed. Dave & I were up early to meet Brandon & Kim for a temple session at the Jordan River Temple for Grandma Waters temple work. Lucky for us that we have a great grandma that drove the kids to the zoo to meet us.

Let the zoo adventures begin....

Elephants eating hay and watching the mama feed her baby. Wow! what a big baby.

A tiger looking down at the crowd or was he looking for lunch?

Look how big we are..... Together
