Hoagle Zoo

Last Friday, Coopers Kindergarten class went to the Hoagle Zoo in Salt Lake City. The kids rode down on the bus and I took Clayton down with me. I was worried because it was rainy, overcast, and cold. I just didnt want to get stuck in a down pour.

Anyway, we got down there and the kids had a blast. We hung out with Braden Patterson and his dad for most of the day. Clayton thought he was such a big boy walking around following Cooper and Braden. He did not want to sit in his stoller. It was cute to watch him strut around with a little bounce in his step.
The zoo had lots of dinosaurs scattered here and there. Some of them would spray water out of their mouths and Cooper thought that was great. Cooper liked the dinosaurs and the giraffes the best. I enjoyed watching the tigers sleep on their backs and devour the pile of raw hamburger. We also enjoyed seeing the elephants and the rhinos. These are huge animals and it was fun to watch them. The kids had just as much fun climbing on the rocks as they did seeing the animals. The weather ended up being perfect. It did sprinkle off and on for part of the day, but the temps were great.
