We went to the Hogel Zoo this past week with some buddies and had a great reunion with our long lost relatives. Payton really liked the zoo unless he was asked to get a picture with the Lion drinking fountain, the ape sculpture, or the orangutan. If you know Payton you know he gets scared by the smallest things...I hope he gets over it someday. He was sitting in his stroller when the sleeping orangutan suddenly awoke and toddled over to our window. Payton didn't realize that he couldn't get to us and he (Payton) climed out of his stroller as fast as he could screaming, "mommy, mommy, mommy!" He then proceded to climb my leg. Poor guy! Levi just sat there. We obviously need to get out more... Other than that our favorites were the Giraffe's and the Tiger (which was very well caged in, I explained to Payton).

"Don't worry, he's not real, I promise!"

Great zoo pictures! Poor Payton :(. He'll outgrow it.
Happy belated bday!!
We would love to get together for a Christmas Party! We aren't sure what our plans are yet for the Holidays but if we are in Utah, we are so there.
You guys are so cute! Haven't read in a while - so Happy Late Birthday. And we had so much fun at the Safety Fair. Glad you came with us. :) And we'll definitely have to do the Treehouse Museum again - that was so much fun!
Fun! And your family is cute!
If you'd like to read about my horror at the Hogel, I've blogged about it here: http://www.franticallysimple.com/2008/05/12/1-i-do-not-like-giraffes/
Hogle Zoo - one of my all-time favorite places! We'll have to plan a summer trip and take our boys out together! By the way, loving your hair...you're a total babe!
