Zoo

This summer the kids and I visited two zoos, the Tauphus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls and the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.  We went to the Tauphus Park Zoo earlier in the summer with Stef, Marcus, Angie and Max. The weekend before school started, Cassie and I snuck in a trip to Hogle Zoo with Grandma Jeri, Cari and the twins.

 This polar bear was so much fun to watch. He would push off this rock, swim underwater, pop out in front of the window and then go back and do it over and over again! Definitely the highlight of the day.





 Zach was so excited to ride on the train. Although he seemed really calm I could tell he loved every second.


TAUPHUS PARK ZOO
 My kids have always loved the petting zoos and feeding the animals. This was one of Zach's first close encounters with a goat.  So cute to watch.
