Kaisa and I got to take a trip to the Hogle Zoo (first time for both of us!) this morning, thanks to an amazing friend who scored us free passes!  (I have such a great group of friends in my ward that all have young kids Kaisa’s age.  We love to get together and do fun stuff!)  Here are some fun pictures of the trip.  Enjoy!

This lepoard was just pacing the glass over and over, watching the kids.  Here you see Kaisa’s little ponytail sticking up…she thought he was pretty cool.

I love the giraffes!  (It reminded me of the amazingly hot giraffe print handbag I recently ordered online that is on its way to my home right now!!)  Kaisa’s not sure what to think of them.

Their elephant exhibit was really quite nice!  I think it’s the best view of an elephant I’ve ever had at a zoo.  It probably helped that is was feeding time on a cool morning.

Here’s the really cool albino croc that Hogle Zoo prides itself on.  It was neat!

Kaisa stopped to check out the little baby croc.  Can you see it?

For the grand finale, Kaisa even got to take her first carousel ride!  I was so pleased with her…she was a little scared at first, but as soon as the horsey started going up and down, she was having all kinds of fun and shouting “wheee!”  Unfortunately, when I stepped away from her to take this picture, her fear returned, and as a result she doesn’t look too happy!

Overall, it was a fun-filled morning for all of us!
