Utah's Hogle Zoo

It's so cool that we Utahns have such an awesome zoo right in our own backyard! I don't think I appreciate it as much as I should. So this past Saturday, D and I decided to channel our inner child and spend the day at The Hogle Zoo together.

We saw some super cool animals...

And we even saw a real-live armadillo! 

You might remember our fascination with armadillos from this post.

(And by the way, these guys are a lot smaller than I thought. They're only about the size of a house cat!)

We were also pretty happy that "Zoorassic Park" was still going on while we were there. In case you didn't know, I'm kind of a fan of all things dinosaur.

Me and my new friend T-Rex.

 This dino spit water all over the children.

We also measured up with some gorillas... 

ate at the Beastro...

and learned what to do in case we get attacked by a cougar.

We were definitely the only adults there that didn't have any children. 

But you know what?

I felt just fine about it.

What are your favorite animals to see at the zoo?
