Fun at the Zoo!

One of the things Hyrum wanted to do with my parents when they came to visit was to take them to the zoo. You might remember my previous post about my dad being afraid of snakes. Hryum wanted to take my dad to the zoo and show him the snakes.

In front of the Zoo they have cement creations of various animals (very cool). They had all the animals dressed up in costumes. My favorite one was a Hippo in workout gear with a treadmill and dumbbells. Hyrum wanted to get his picture taken by the Thomas the Train Rhino.

Ben and Emily were in heaven! Like I have mentioned before, they are huge animal fans. They loved the monkeys! Below are pictures of them with Grandma and Papa looking at the monkeys. They also enjoyed looking at the giraffes, sea lions and polar bears. It was so cute to hear their little animal sounds they would make as we went from one animal to another.

In the aquarium area with the sea lions and polar bears Ben loved every minute. He would run from one side to the other just laughing and chasing the animals as they swam back and forth.

Every time we have gone to the zoo recently Hyrum has wanted to sit in a picture booth to get his picture taken. So, Hyrum and Grandma sat in the booth and go their picture taken.
Hyrum told Papa that he would hold his hand while they looked at the snakes so he wouldn't be scared. Here they are standing in front of the entrance to the Herpetarium. Looking at the BIG, SCARY snake!
