Zoo

Alax had the day off yesterday, and we wanted to make the most of it, so we went down to Salt Lake and went to the zoo!! Yes, it is January in Utah, I know, but we had sooo much fun!! It actually wasn't too cold, maybe in the mid 40's and most of the animals are inside anyway, so we were warm the whole time!! And guess what??? We saw MAYBE 5 people the whole two hours or so we were there!! Seriously, the best zoo trip we have ever had. It was soo nice to walk away from the stroller and let Marlee walk and look at the animals at her own pace. I think going in the winter is the only way to go, especially since Alax hates crowds. He was in heaven! :) Here are some pictures!!

porcupines!!

these heat lamps were amazing :)

no one's here!!!

Marlee was fascinated by this gorilla!! I'm surprised we got her to look at the camera!

Marlee LOVED all the animals, especially the tigers and all the birds. They had bob cats and sand cats, but they were all sleeping, so Marlee would make sure to say "nigh-nigh" to all of them before we left :) There was one monkey in particular that really liked her, and came right up to the glass to play! Marlee gave it kisses on the glass and stretched her arms out to give it a hug, too. We had so much fun, and ended the day eating dinner at Z'Tejas in the Gateway. It was delish!!! Fun, fun day!!
