We love the Zoo!

So far, this summer has been much different than last summer!  I'm not huge pregnant and we are not using every spare moment to fix up our house!  This means we get to play!!! We have already had a lot of fun.  One of our favorite spots is Utah's Hogle  Zoo.  We were there three times this last week alone, and each time was so much fun!


We got to go to the preview of the new Rocky Shores last Thursday with our favorite zoo cousins Lizzie, Josh, and Millie!  These cousins have so much fun together and always LOVE the zoo!

 Amanda and Lizzie were very proud of their face painting!

 

Such cute cousins!

Monday we were able to take "Grandma and Grandpa Blue Car"  to the Zoo with us!  My mom has always loved giraffes, which also happens to be Amanda's favorite, so we  had to get a picture by them!

  

Both girls were pretty tired by the time we got to the line for the train.  They both wanted Grandpa.  He is such a fun Grandpa! 

Wednesday we were off to the zoo, yet again!  This time my cute cousins came down from Cache Valley and brought their cute kiddos.  Amanda thought it was cool that we were going to the zoo with Mom's cousins!   I was terrible at taking pictures that day, but here is one at the beginning with all the kids (+ Avree holding Kate) ready to go!

It was so much fun spending the day with this group!  I really don't see them enough and it was so fun to see how big all the kids had grown.  It's still crazy to me sometimes that we are old enough to have seven kids between the tree of us!  CRAZY!


I'm sure we'll have more trips to the zoo this summer, but I might wait a few weeks.  Three times in seven days was pretty fun though!
