Back in August (yes, I’m a little behind), we had the opportunity to visit Hogle Zoo as a family. My sister, Karla, joined us in the fun. Bridget and I had gone last summer, but this was the first time all of us had been together.

We had a great time visiting all the animals.

Here are some pictures.

When we got to the zoo, we were greeted by a family in the parking lot that had 2 extra admission tickets they couldn’t use. They very graciously gave them to us. Thank you, whomever you are. We appreciate the gesture. Know that we would have tried to pay you for them, if we’d had any more than $0.30 in cash at the time.

At any rate, it was fun to be able to get away as a family for the day, and visit the zoo! It was a bit of a rarity this summer with Dave’s hectic schedule (lots of school, and a big work project). We really enjoyed the zoo, and look forward to visiting again – maybe next summer!
