Hogle Zoo

July 25-27 We met up with my older brother Michael and his family in Utah. We had a great time. We haven't been together in 2 years. It was 2 years too long. We had a great time hanging out at the Utah Hogle Zoo. It was just over 100 degrees that day. It was super hot, but we had a great time. All the girls had so much fun spending time together. They pick up with each other as if they have never been apart!

Sitting Pretty

Even the animals were hot and sleepy.

A really cool white alligator

Raychel's favorite
is the elephants, notice her
shirt?!

Mayan Adventures

We had been to this restaurant years ago with a friend, and then accidentally found it this last trip to Utah. It was great. The food isn't the best but the entertainment is incredible! They put on a "skit" about a Mayan leader who makes his people jump off these cliffs into pools of water below. Some of the dives are breath taking! Did I mention this in an indoor restaurant!! The atmosphere is amazing with the water falls and all the animal sounds.



The girls loved posing
throughout the restaurant.

We had a great night as a family!!

Great View!!

The view driving in to Utah!!
