Hogle Zoo

We decided to take Emilee to the zoo one Saturday. We thought it would be fun to show her the animals, and it was something different to do. When we first got there we took Emilee to the playground. That way she would be able to get some of her wiggles out. They have a large snake slide, that Emilee wanted to go down. Yet when she got to the top, she decided she was scared. Adam went up saved her, and then went down the slide with her. When they came out of the slide, it looked like they were being eaten. It was fun to see all the animals, we must of gone at a really good time, the animals were all active. We saw the Elephants eat, and watched the Rhinos charge each other. The monkeys were out playing, and we saw the bears wrestle. Even the lizards, turtles, snakes, and birds seemed to be more active than in the past. When we went to the prairie display, a dove came running from the other side of the display over to Emilee. That dove followed her all along the glass, she had made a new friend. We think it's because she had a little doll and the bird liked the look of the hair. A lot of the animals that day were attracted to Emilee. We met a nice family who said they were about to leave, so they gave us 2 tickets to the Conservation Carousel. That was very kind of the family, Emilee loved riding on the animals. Because they gave us 2 tickets, and Emilee needed an adult with her, she's still little, Adam and I both got to take her. We had a lot of fun that day, I really think Emilee enjoyed seeing the animals. It was fun going and spending time away from our house as a family.
