School's Out, Now the Fun Begins!






We had a very exciting first week of summer. Mom, Dad, Mandy and her family all came to see us for Memorial Day weekend. We went to The Living Planet Aquarium and the Hogle Zoo. My kids love both of these places, so to get to do both in one week was extra special. Plus their cousins were there to make it extra fun.
The highlight of our trip to the zoo was the Tiger Birthday Party! Apparently the 3 baby tigers were celebrating their 1st birthday, so we were able to see them eat their "cake" and sing to them. It was pretty exciting! Their cakes were made out of ground meat and each one had a nice rat on top!
The kids really liked petting the rays at the aquarium, except Sophie. She wanted nothing to do with those slimy rays, her favorite thing was driving the pretend boat. The penguins were also loved by all.
