Hogle Zoo 2009

Yesterday, we had the chance to go up to Hogle Zoo with Zuke's friend Catherine and her family. They live in Maryland, and we only see them once a year, so we were really excited! It was a bit drizzly and a little cool, but that actually made the day a lot more pleasant. The kids all had a blast running around together, and it definitely helped to have 4 adults to the 6 kids! We saw all the animals, watched the elephant show, had a yummy lunch, and rode the carousel & train. We all had so much fun, and can't wait to go back!

It took a bit of persuading to get Tyler and Kaiden to actually sit on that thing!

Addison enjoyed the constant snacking while being wheeled around the zoo.

I love this shot of Tyler!

There is seriously something about cougars wanting to eat Addison! This was the second one to zero in on her. He was hissing and growling at her until we got out of sight. Creepy!!
