Hogle Zoo

On Friday, we had the opportunity to go to the Hogle Zoo. A neighbor of ours offered us to go with her on her family pass, so we got to go with friends and it was free! It was sort of hot that day, but gorgeous.  On Fridays the girls get out of school early, so we went right when they got home.


Michaela loves me for the above picture! This monkey has a little baby in her arms, it was very cute. 
 The zoo had a new baby elephant, the first born at the zoo. It is a girl name Zuri. We spent a lot of time here, as she was very cute!
 Watching the baby elephant.
 Playing on the hippo statue!
 We thought this sign was so funny!
 Ava was so excited to see the giraffes. She really loved them.
 The train ride was fun, and I love this picture. This little girl is in Ava's class and is our neighbor; they have made great friends and love to play together. I feel like it was really an answer to prayers.

 My big girls on the little toy!
 Michaela was able to establish a relationship with this huge goose and sat and chatted with it; it answered!


 Ava looks good as a turtle.
Never too old.....
We had a really good time, and I was excited to make a new friend. She invited us to go again before the season ends, which sounds good to us. Here's to great neighbors and new friends!
