Fun at the Zoo

Since Scott has spring semester off of school we decided to have some of our summer fun a little early. So we packed up Claire and headed to the zoo in Salt Lake City. She won't ever remember this zoo trip, but we sure will! We had a lot of fun seeing all the animals ourselves and trying to point them out to Claire. :)


Most of the time Claire was more interested in the other kids looking at the animals than at the animals themselves. That Rhino was so close, only a few feet away with just some glass in between, but Claire is actually looking at a little girl a little below her. :)

We saw some of mommy's favorites... the elephants and giraffes!! I realized seeing them up close, how weird and funny looking my favorites are, but I still like them. :)


We saw the tigers...they were all taking naps when we saw them, so they weren't as exciting...but the sign made us laugh. :)


Claire kept wanting to get down and walk around, but as soon as we put her down to walk, she usually finds something to look at and she'll sit in the middle of the road. We saw these ducks with the baby ducks following and she wanted to walk closer to them. I had to actually hold her back because the big ducks were hissing at us. :)


I think our favorite part was seeing the monkeys. They were the most interactive. The one monkey came right up to the window and looked at Claire! I don't know if she even noticed it looking at her though, she was staring at the kid next to us. :)

And of course we had to do the whole comparison pictures... Claire's pretty close to the actual monkey size, don't you think? :)


It was a fun trip overall. Can't wait to do it again when she's a bit older! :)
