Tracy Aviary and Hogle Zoo

Two weekends ago we headed up to Salt Lake to go to the Tracy Aviary and the Hogle Zoo.  I had never heard of the Aviary place before but by golly, it was such a fun place to go!  It’s in Liberty Park and it’s not that expensive to get in.  They had the coolest birds there.  Kylie loved it.  We went like an hour after it opened and we pretty much had the place to ourselves (not unlike our zoo experience…).  Here are so of my favorite pictures.

After seeing all the birdies we ate lunch at Liberty Park and then headed over to the zoo.  Yeah, the zoo was a popular place to go that day.  Plus they had like this hippie mother earth group there that was doing some sort of convention.  It took about 20 minutes of waiting in line before we got our tickets (to the zoo, not to see the hippies).  Anyway, it was such a beautiful day out and we saw a lot of animals that usually are hiding or sleeping the other times we have gone.  Kylie was in heaven.  We wore her out halfway through though.  She said, “I want to take my nap.”  So we laid the back of her stroller down and she was out like a light.  Here are some more pictures of our day.

I call this monkey “Soaked in pee and baked in the sun”

I loved seeing the baby elephant :)

So this girl standing next to me was blowing on a piece of plastic between her lips and this baby tiger DID NOT like it.  Of course the girl thought it was funny so she kept doing it…

I thought the pictures were really wonderful, and I thought the writing was just great. Very enjoyable reading and the picures of the zoo were really neat.
