Spring Break - Zoo Trip


Spring break felt more like Winter break here in Utah. We were so bummed that the weather was so bad, but we were determined to still have fun. Rob took work off for a few days and we had a great time. One day we did the zoo and another day we hit Chuck-E-Cheese. It was a cold spring break, but definitely fun!

This was Jaxson's first trip to the zoo. We bundled him up really well and he did great. He loves being outside and although it was chilly, he was a trooper! He was fascinated with all of the sites and especially loved the monkeys jumping around.
(And look at those beautiful blue eyes!!!)
We were so excited to see the new baby elephant! When we went last year, I was pregnant with Jaxson and the mommy elephant was pregnant as well. We were really looking forward to coming back this year with our baby Jaxson to see the new baby elephant at the zoo. What a cute baby she is!! (Although we think our baby is much cuter!)
On the big scale trying to weigh as much as the baby elephant.
Cayden and McKell have a very special relationship. They are best buddies and really love each other so much. I love that they love each other.
We got very up close to the giraffes. Ashlee was fascinated by their long black tongues!


Our monkeys!!

Wow! That is way too similar!
Our big papa gorilla!



Because of our name, our kids get VERY excited when they see a Peacock. They were absolutely THRILLED to see this Peacock up close and with his feathers in full bloom. Their daddy has taught them a perfect Peacock call and they love it when the Peacock "Yelps" back at them.
