Fall Break, UEA, or Deer Hunt Weekend


What school holiday is it this year?  Fall Break, UEA, or Deer Hunt???  This year it is Fall Break and the kids were out Thursday & Friday.  What can we do that would be fun???  How about a trip to Salt Lake to visit the zoo.  We have never been in the fall so it would be a first time for everything.  A trip to the zoo wouldn't be complete without visiting Grandma & Grandpa.  We even made a stop and Grandpa's work and he gave us a tour of where he works.  The kids loved seeing the various floors.  The kids also loved seeing the roof and looking over the valley.

 Playing with cousins
 What happened to Baby Owen??? He is growing up to fast.
 Next stop the zoo.  They have started the next habitat and the train is gone until 2014.
 We love the elephants and loved that baby.  He loved playing with the pipe.
 Everyone was having a good time just watching.
 Front row seats to watch the seals.
 And polar bears.
 He was really active and loved the attention.
 Giraffes were ready to eat.  They even had the baby out where you could see it.
 It was Wolf Day so everyone gathered around to watch the feeding and training session.  Too bad for Shawn that Reganne kept flipping around and hitting him in the face with her ponytail.  He was a good sport and didn't get too mad at her.
 They sprayed perfume around the enclosure and they went crazy trying to find where the scent was coming from.  They were amazing to watch.
Everyone was ready for a ride on the carousel.

I loved this trip to the zoo it was cooler, less crowds, active animals, and best of all the human animals were covered up.  It was a good trip and a good break from our crazy life.

Chris gave us a tour while we were in Utah this summer. The rooftop view of the campus was awesome!
