Zoorassic Park

It has been a very long time since I have been to Hogle Zoo in the summer (a few years ago Tristan and I took Isaiah and Casey to Zoo Lights on a snowy December night).  This is NOT the same zoo that I came to when I was younger.  The cages of old are mostly gone and the new enclosures look more natural (as natural as a zoo enclosure can be).  Matthew and Asa are visiting for a week from Florida so a bunch of us went to the zoo to spend some time together (Kerry, Isaiah, Matthew, Asa, Caley, Tristan and myself). It was fun to be with everyone in such a great place!

Zoorasic Park is the theme for the summer.  There are dinosaurs found all through the zoo. Many of them move, squirt water and roar.  Caley and Asa took a little time to warm up to the idea of dinosaurs.  They would go right up to any of them that did not move or make sounds but the others took a little coaxing.

This was Caley first time visiting a Zoo.  It was great to see her excitement as new animals came into view.  When we came around the bend and she could see the Giraffe she was so excited that we started running toward it.  She said later that this was her favorite animal.

Asa was excited to go on the Merry-Go-Round before we ever saw it.  Caley on the other hand was very nervous since she had never been on one before. In the end they both had a great time!

Actually, we all had a great time!
