What the heck?

So I have been trying to post a new blog for about two weeks, but every time I try to upload my photos it goes all funky on me!!! So frustrating!! What the heck I will just write about our fun day at the zoo......two weeks ago! Anyway it was nice outside and the kids didn't have school so we decided to go to the zoo. We had such a fun day. Here are a few of my favorite things from our fun day.......(in random order...drum roll please)

1. Actually seeing the cougar! I can't remember ever really seeing the cougar doing anything but laying there. It was the best Lexi walked up to the cougar chanting BYU we love you, then she asked the cougar if he liked BYU which I am sure he does.....who doesn't??
2. We were eating out lunch by the monkey cage. While we were eating the monkey was making the loudest noise. I sounded almost like a siren. Not for a minute or two either....the entire time!! Got a little annoying after a while.
3. While walking by the cheetah Addy fell behind a little and began running to catch up. The cheetah thought she was racing and ran with her. It was so cool. We spent the next few minutes running up and down the hill by the cheetah. I think the cheetah enjoyed it just as much as we did.
4. We went into the giraffe building next. There were 3 giraffe kind of cuddling with each other. the one was rubbing his chin along the other ones mane(do giraffes have manes I don't know but now you know what area I am talking about!). Alexiya says to me, "I bet he thinks it feels tickely." Lexi love things that are "tickely", live velvety sweat outfits. Hilarious!
5. Right as we walked by the peacock it flared its feathers.........so beautiful!
6. The girls really wanted to go on the train, because it is soooo exciting, we got on and headed out. They take you to a gate that says DO NOT ENTER and they just go right through it. Now to many this would be cool, an adventure........not when you are a cautious little eight year old that can totally read that it says DO NOT ENTER. Addy clung to me and then we see the buffalo right there, no cage between you and the buffalo! She did not feel that was safe! Oh I love my cautious little Addy!

We had a really great time. It is always fun to see the animals, but there is always a part of me that feels a little bad for those animals stuck there :( . Oh well I guess all we can do is visit so the zoo makes money and can always keep improving on the animals living quarters.

I have some really fun pictures of all of these things.....I guess you will have to use your imagination!
