Hogle Zoo Trip

While in Salt Lake City, we decided to visit the Hogle Zoo.

Dallin is the perfect age for a zoo trip--he gets very excited over animals.

Grandma Tsukamoto came along too.

We met Zuri, the baby elephant.

She was extremely cute!

We watched Zuri and her mom perform some tricks during the elephant show.

Dallin got excited over Zuri's big ball too.

It was feeding time for the giant tortoises.

Our favorite entertainment was the amazing Bird Show.

This was a European owl.

Kevin waxes artistic with photographic composition.

We didn't agree with the name of the indoor exhibit that featured these 
adorable fruit bats: Nature's Nightmares. What is nightmarish about these cuties?

Erin had fun riding the new carousel--at least new since our last visit a few years ago.

Dallin had fallen asleep by this time, so he missed getting a ride.

Dallin continued to sleep through the giraffes...

...and made the tigers sleepy...

...along with the sloth.

They have added more gorilla sizes to the measuring chart.

Ian is as large as a female gorilla (height-wise, not weight-wise)!

Erin preferred posing by this handsome primate.

And then Kevin had a late afternoon appointment 

so we all had to leave before exploring the children's Discovery Zone. 

We'll have to go back soon.
