The Hogle Zoo

A couple of weeks ago, Connor & I went to the Hogle Zoo with Aunt Niki.  It was pretty fun, but it was probably the craziest day I've had in a long time!  We got our tires changed that morning and then went straight to the zoo.  Connor was being so good at Walmart when we were changing the tires, he even fell asleep! I decided that we would just go straight to the zoo from Walmart, since he was sleeping.  Then he woke up on the freeway demanding food.  He was so mad for 15 or 20 minutes.  So when we finally got to the zoo parking lot, all I could do to calm him down was feed him in the parking lot.  

When Connor was done we made it into the park.  Connor was doing his business when he was eating so I needed to change him.  It was EVERYWHERE. That's outfit #1.  I clean him up and change him out of his clothes.  When I'm finishing up he throws up.  ALL OVER his clean outfit! Ugh. It was mostly on his jacket, but still I had to change him again.  Outfit #2.  When we went to eat he threw up again all over the floor.  The lady at the register just looked at me like, you better not ask me to clean that up. (I didn't ask her) So after outfit 3, he fell asleep and managed to stay in it for a while. :) 

He was asleep for most of the park but he did see a few animals.  He saw elephants . . . but you wouldn't really know because Aunt Niki took the picture with the elephant's bum showing. Nice one! lol


We saw some rhinos . . . There was a little cave that you go in and you can see them right in front of you, which is where the photo was taken from.  Off to the side there is a button that you can push and above it it says, "What's that smell?!?" We didn't push the button, it just seemed really funny to me.


 
There were lemurs . . . 


And some hairy monkeys that I don't remember the name of. . .


Even though the day started off a little hectic, we had a lot of fun with Aunt Niki!


We can't wait to go to the zoo again!  Hopefully, next time Daddy will be able to come too!
