Hogle Zoo

We took the girls to Salt Lake a couple weeks ago for a little weekend getaway. It was great to get away for a few days and enjoy our little family. We were able to get some swimming in, awesome food, and of course The Hogle Zoo.

Jeff was able to show us his version of the "butterfly." I haven't laughed like that for a long time. Let's just say that he isn't as good as Michael Phelps.

Jeff's big splash.

Every time we walk past a Build A Bear Workshop, the girls end up begging us to "please let them build a bear. " We told them that they could build a bear and soon as they saved their own money to spend on their bears. They saved birthday money and pulled weeds to earn these cute little bears. They were actually pretty good shoppers and left the Build A Bear Workshop with money to spare.

The day that we were at the zoo, it was "Ice Block Day." All the animals had ice blocks with a few of their favorite things frozen in them. It was fun to watch the animals.

We had to get a picutre of all of the monkeys at the Zoo.

I almost forgot about the most exciting part of our trip, P.F. Chang's. Our family absolutely loves this restaurant. I don't know if it is the delicious dinner or the Great Wall of Chocolate (6 layers of chocolate cake drizzled with raspberry sauce and served with all kinds of berries). At any rate, we love it! Our weekend was awesome! It is something we are going to try to do every year and next year we may even brave Lagoon.
