Powell Reunion 2012: Hogle Zoo

 Today we got to go to the Hogle Zoo in SLC, UT!  The kids had a great time discovering all of the animals.  Our favorite part was the bird show.  It was a 25 minute program set to music.  The birds were allowed free flight.  Our little family was sitting on the very back row and got flapped on our heads a few times by some of the birds that were going past us.  The kids also enjoyed the elephant show, a ride on the carousel and a ride on the train.

 Ellie sat for 1/2 of the bird show in her hiking backpack.  Here she is just hanging out.

 Jacob moping because "his" spot was taken.

 Now he's happy!  Jacob got the perfect spot for his picture.

 Ellie and this creature stared at each other for quite a while.

 While waiting to ride the train Ellie got tired.  She was playing Aunt Lisa's "Fish Farts" game and decided it would be more comfortable to lay down on the ground.  Silly girl.
