Spring Break 2011

We had a great spring break a couple of weeks ago despite all the cold weather we had. In the middle of going to Trafalga, Chuck E Cheese and heading up to Salt Lake City to stay in the "water slide hotel" we found a great weather day to head to the zoo. When we got there we immediately took a ride on the train.

It has become tradition for us to go to the zoo with the Cooks during spring break. Here is most of the crew all riding the train.

Here are my monkeys looking at the monkeys. There seems to be a lot of monkeys at Hogle Zoo!

The boys had a good time checking out the elephants.

This is the first year that we rode the carousel. Kayden loved riding a giraffe while Kaden and Josh enjoyed the lion and monkey.

Jaxon and McKay found their own animals on the other side of the carousel to ride on.

Kayden kept sticking his tongue out while enjoying his ride. Too cute to not take a picture.

Kayden was mesmerized by the giraffes.

After a full day of looking at animals, we took some time to play at the playground. Jaxon found himself all tangled in a giant spider's web. The only way he could get out was by removing his shoes. Here he is getting untangled and having a good laugh on the ground.

Jaxon found a nice giant egg to take a rest after his ordeal with the spider's web.

McKay experienced what is like to be a tortoise. (Man he looks huge!)

Josh on a giant egg. He tuckered himself out by trying to climb on the top without any help.

Kayden had fun doing everything. He ran back and forth on this bridge for a while and then....

....he was eaten by a crocodile. See him yelling for help? This kid cracks me up!

It was a great day at the zoo and we enjoyed spring break. I was exhausted when it was all done. The kids, on the other hand, can't wait for summer!
