Our "stay-cation"

A few weeks ago, the boys had fall break at school. Friday, we went up to Salt Lake for a little stay-cation. We went to Temple Square and saw the Joseph Smith movie. I was doing good, until I saw Logan in tears. Well, then I completely lost it. It was touching to see that he can feel the spirit and feel it's power.

Not the best picture of the boys by the Christus statue, but you gotta love Colton's sass.

We spent the night in a hotel. The plan was for the older boys to share a bed. What the hotel claimed as a "queen" was not big enough, so we made a little bed for Colton on the floor.

The next morning, we ventured to Hogle Zoo. I was excited because within the last few months, there had been many babies born. My little baby loved to sit up in his stroller and see all the animals.

Don't forget animal crackers when going to the zoo!



Little Zuri was my favorite part of the zoo. Elephant's are pregnant for 21 months. No thank you!

Ethan kickin' it back!

The baby giraffe. Ok, so this was my favorite part of the zoo. I love giraffes!



Monkey see, monkey do.

A few months ago, 3 male tigers were born. One crossed the bridge, he was a little cutie.

We had so much fun at the zoo. It was beautiful weather, even though it was October. Afterward we went to the park and had a picnic. The kids loved our little vacation. It's good to have things close by to see and do and we can be tourists in our own town.
