I Went To the Animal Fair, The Birds and The Beasts Were There...

Kyndi's preschool had a day at Hogle Zoo on saturday. What this meant is that everyone in her family got free tickets to the zoo - awesome! Tate and Kyndi were at Jeremy's for the weekend, but we took all the other kids.. in the snow!! It was actually quite sunny and warm here in Spanish Fork but by the time we hit Salt Lake it was raining - and as we parked the vehicular, the snow started. Blah. That's okay. Made for fewer crowds! We just bundled up real good and went on our merry way!

Here's the mama elephant and her baby... the next picture is better of the baby...

So cute, right?

The little man walking through the zoo (That's Tyson up ahead of him with no head...)

I must've said something funny.

Lunch time for the tigers

A whole bundle of live bats in the tree just inches above our heads... (In the "creepy Crawly" (or whatever they called it) exhibit.) ...They warned us upon entry to this exhibit that the bats may be free flying throughout the building with us.

Oak's got a ride on the merry-go-round... she chose the Eagle - at first I was just standing next to her - then she decided I needed to "ride the fish" (it was a dolphin)

Cheese!!

Here Sharli - this one's for you. A skunk.

My favorite are the penguins...

Apparently this one is the only one brave enough to swim in the frigid water...

Baby Siamese Crocodile - he's seriously like only a foot long.

Moe getting eaten by the Lion Drinking Fountain that's been there since I was little. (that was the best "scared" face she could come up with)The Cutest Exhibit at the zoo... (and checkout Kamron's hands in the picture - he cut his finger open on a saw - and his solution is duct tape.)

Oaklee on the slide (obviously)

Tate and Kyndi actually were there with Jeremy - and we ran into them as we were leaving - I took a picture so they'd remember they were at the zoo too.

A way gorgeous Flower they had in their "Creepy Crawly" Exhibit

That wraps up the pictures... I actually took a picture of the big ol' ugly orangutan - he was hideous!! Somehow his ugly mug didn't wanna work with my camera... it's so blurry you can't even tell what the big brown blob is. Oh well. But there was a point where Kamron was crouched near to the ground looking through the glass and the hideous creature came right up to the glass and stared Kamron down, face to face. Pretty funny!
