We had Dan's kids over fathers day weekend and decided to do something really fun!! How much more fun does the zoo get? Well, it was pretty hot, but that wasn't going to stop us. We actually stayed in Salt Lake Friday night. It was a little friendly reminder that I don't plan on traveling with little ones anytime soon:) We woke up Saturday morning and got ready for our trip to the zoo. Dan and the kids(minus Mayci) decided to make the most of our stay and went in the pool with the kids. P.S. He went to the pool at 10, and we had to check out at 11!!!! I had to finally go get them out at 10:30. I was definately stressing to get everyone ready in time to check out. All in all, it was a good weekend!




This nice couple took our family picture in return for me taking their family picture.



I love this picture....not exactly sure why. Mayci loved watching the giraffes.



ok, so I totally had no idea that I was taking a picture of a male monkey:)


Porcupines.


Can't remember for the life of me what kind of animal this was. Either way, Mayci was in love.

Mayci loved the Meerkats. Probably because they were close to her size:)


Dazed and confused.


Yes, they're picking the statue gorilla's nose!


I love the excitements kids show for the little things.

Mayci hated this huge fake elephant. Carter and Payton on the other hand could have stayed and played there all day long.
