Hogle Zoo

We've been waiting all summer for the weather to cool down enough for us to spend a day at the zoo. The weather was perfect today, so we headed down this morning and met up with Shelly (David's sister), Brian, and Ian. Dylan and Mickell were really young the last time we went, so Dylan barely remembered it and Mickell didn't remember it at all. We had such a great day! The highlight of our day was the bird show in the outdoor amphitheatre. One falcon that flew over the audience skimmed the top of David's head and the kids went wild! It was fun to see all the birds so close and to see all their amazing tricks. When I asked the kids what their favorite part of the day was, Dylan said that the train ride and the bird show were a tie, and Mickell said she loved "EVERYTHING". We get so busy sometimes and don't take enough time out to have fun, so I'm really glad that we went today. The kids had such a great time and they are already asking when we are going to go again.
