This last weekend was the first time since June that we didn't have something planned somewhere else (ie: St George, Bear Lake, Denver) and since Lola hadn't yet been to Hogle Zoo, we decided to go check it out. Luke had never been either and I haven't been since I was about 3 years old so it was pretty much a first for all 3 of us. Growing up in Southern California where they take their zoo's seriously, this one was quite small and dinky in comparison, but it was fun none the less. Lola had a love/scared relationship with most of the animals. She wanted us to push her stroller right up to the edge but then as soon as the animal moved, she'd get scared and cry and want us to back her up. Then 2 minutes later she'd whine for us to push her forward again! She was scared but entranced all at the same time- just couldn't take her eyes off those wonderous creatures :) Her favorite were the monkeys and her least favorite were the Giraffes (one got right up to the fence and way scared the breath out of her. I thought she was going to pass out!). We had a great time- the weather was perfect, it wasn't too crowded and we even got to leave without having to buy any souvenirs or treats (aka: junk)!!
