Temple Square And The Zoo

We had a very fun but busy weekend! We were out in Salt Lake all weekend with Brady's family and went to the zoo. The kids had a blast!!!!

This was on the train ride at the zoo--We kinda cut Dav off--whoops!

The kangaroo was bouncing all over the place before we got there! And the tourtoises just laid around-they were huge!

It was hard to get Dav off the Carousel and every time we'd come around he'd wave like crazy to Grandma and Grandpa and Daddy.



The Gorilla was my favorite part. He was HUGE!! Dav was fascinated by the way he ate. The zoo lady threw a sack of food over the fence and he emptied it out and just sat down and lounged out on the grass and started eating--a whole head of lettuce gone in one bite! Dav loved watching him!


The Giraffes are the most beautiful animal ever! The baby was only 10 days old--look how tiny he looks compared to his dad!


Dav loved the Zebras too--he kept calling them horses but got the hang of Zebra after awhile!


Funny story. The top picture is of two bears playing and Dav kinda got scared. He kept yelling "STOP IT" at the bears--like they would listen! The bottom picture is cute--the bear was obviously tired.

Sittin' on the Rhino with Aunt Karlee and Aunt Erin

The Rhinos were Dav's all time favorite ((other then the monkeys)) he didn't want to leave them!


There was only one elephant--the other one was in labor with her baby! They're pregnant for 21 months--almost two years--I'm pretty sure I don't envy them at all.


We had lots of fun at the zoo--I can't wait to go back

We also spent a day touring Temple Square and This Is The Place--It was SOOOO cold outside--I'm not even kidding. Dav wasn't feeling to good this day either--but it was still fun!

George Wardle is related to Brady's Grandma somehow--we thought it was neat that he was on the plaques there--and even has his own tree.

The Salt Lake Valley--Gorgeous

The monument was huge--very pretty!

This is the Assembly Hall at Temple Square--I thought it was a pretty building.

Inside the old Tabernacle. It was built when Brigham Young was Prophet--its way old but so beautiful!

Salt Lake Temple


Cool story. I've always loved going to visit the visitors center at Temple Square just so I can go up the ramp and sit in front of this statue--It's the most beautiful thing ever! We took Dav up there of course and I asked Dav who it was and he pointed and got pretty excited and said "JESUS!"--Brady and I were stunned. We've worked with him at home with pictures and stuff but we weren't sure if he'd remember--I about started crying--He definitely remembers...
