June 5th Part 2

After our visit to Temple Square we took the girls over to Hogle Zoo. It was perfect weather. it drizzled a little while we walked up, but that was it. We had a lot of fun here!



This elephant made noises & would pretend to sneeze & blow water out of it's trunk. We talked Jay into sitting on it's trunk for a picture, but she kept her ears plugged the whole time. She said it was too loud & it made her nervous. You can actually see the water shooting out in this pic!

My Granddad Carroll told us we needed to check out the bird show. He knew the guy that runs it & said he was the best! We're really glad he did. We probably wouldn't have went to it otherwise & it was the highlight of our visit. It was so fun to watch these birds fly around & at times fly extremely close to peoples heads! Upon the start of the show they tell you not to raise your hands or to stand up because you could get hit. A couple of times the birds were so close you could see the wind blow through peoples hair! At the end of the show they brought out a Bald Eagle. I thought this was pretty cool since I've never seen one before!
