Hogle Zoo!

Tim finally had a the weekend off work and we made sure to take advantage of it. While they did call him everyday to come in and pick up a shift (literally Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). He has worked every weekend for the last 4 weeks and Ian and I deserved some time too! So on Saturday we headed down to Hogle Zoo in SLC.

Ian absolutely loved the zoo! We probably could have just gone to a pet store and he would of loved it to because his absolute favorite was all the reptiles (snakes, spiders, lizards, frogs, and anything creep, crawly, and disgusting). As far as the big animals he seemed to think they were ok but he would get really excited (clapping and giggling) when he saw the reptiles. He did love the porcupines and the meerkat that would follow him as he ran from one side of their cage to the other.
We were able to see baby Zuri (picture taken from Hogle Zoo website) and she was super cute!
We also went to the bird show. I was a little worried at first because Ian did not wanting to hold still and sit down and behave before the show -it didn't help that the worker were rude and clearly did not have children. Once the show began and the birds flew just inches above your head he was loving it. By the time we made it through most of the zoo Ian was really tired and enjoyed lounging in his stroller munching on fresh kettle corn.

We headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Ian threw a wonderful tantrum in the parking lot and then was happy as could be once we were inside with food. Before leaving we headed back to Jimmer & Amy's house to visit and Ian discovered Jimmer's boots.
He was way to good at walking in them as well.

Then he found the guitar case and thought that was fun to climb in and out of
-good thing his Aunt and Uncle love him :)
We had a great day at zoo -thanks Jimmer, Amy, and Hunter for joining us!
