Going to the Zoo

We got to go to the Hogle Zoo at the beginning of August and we were glad we did then, since we moved just 2 weeks later (we had no idea at the time).  Benjamin absolutely loves animals, so we knew he'd get a kick out of seeing the real things!  His favorites were watching the seals swimming around in the water, the polar bear, and the playground! (Also, these pictures aren't the best because I forgot to bring the camera and had to take these pictures on my super not fancy phone.)

That's a monkey hanging there, if you couldn't tell.

That is a seal swimming around - not the best picture, but it was one of
Benjamin's favorite things.

Polar bear!

This polar bear was awesome!  He kept swimming right up to the glass,
stepping up on a rock right there, then jumping backwards into the water.
We could have watched that all day!

They are walking through a mister if you couldn't tell.  Benjamin loved those!

Dave had to help Benjamin get down the slides at this playground because
they were super long & windy (they wound around) and Benjamin got stuck.

He loved the bridge - he kept running back over to it to walk across again!
