Every year Jason and I purchase a year membership to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake, our boys are huge fans of the animals and getting out in some fresh air and lets be honest Jason and I are huger fans of watching our boys run around and being so excited as they see the different animals!
Jason works for the state of Utah so he gets most of the holidays off, so when Veterans day rolled around we decided we would take the day to do a family excursion to the zoo! We pulled the boys out of school and hour early and headed to Salt Lake!
It was a beautiful day for the zoo, it was a little chilly but no one else was really there so the boys could run around and we were still able to keep tabs on all them and just kind of sit back and watch their excitement!
The boys were so funny and want to know everything about the animals. they love to ask the zoo employees questions, like why the giraffes weren't out, why the monkeys eat from their hands, etc. etc. I seriously could just watch them figure out stuff all day!!
The elephants were out and playing and we stayed there to watch them for quite some time, the boys were all amazed how they were able to use their trunks like fingers to pick up their food!
There was a new baby orangutan that we all sat and watched for a really long time, it is so funny to see my boys with babies. they were all super excited and trying to talk to the cute little baby in their best high pitched baby talk!
I am super grateful for these sweet boys of mine and the opportunity that we have to be able to spend time as a family doing things, I am most grateful for Jason and for his desire to spend any time that he has free with our boys! They look up to their dad so much and love to spend time with him! It makes my heart so happy to see their sweet relationship!
