Hogle Zoo

On Tuesday, Kyle had the entire day off so we took a trip up to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. It was the first time we had been to a zoo in a really long time and of course it was Gabbie's first time. We had a lot of fun and found out that our daughter loves monkeys and tigers.

Watching the elephants...


looking at the pretty monkeys...

Gabs was so excited in this exhibit because there was one monkey that kept coming right up to the window and she just stared at him the entire time he was moving. Her eyes were following him every time he moved...


Gabbie's new favorite way to drink water...she hates to drink it out of a bottle so her daddy came up with this to make sure she was drinking.

Kyle mimicking the elephant...


A rhino's horn...

touching an elephant tusk...

cool tricks from the elephant, this one is pregnant...


Daddy and Gabbie hanging out during the elephant show...

Gabbie's face soaking wet because her daddy took the water and squirted it all over her face...she liked it though because it was really hot...


This was probably her favorite place...every time the tiger went out of her range of view, she laid down in her stroller and then as soon as she could see him again, she got back up and watched him. This time he stopped right in front of her and stared her down.

Do you measure up?


cute little kittie...

playing with the spiders...

the baby giraffe that is only 6 or so days older than Gabbie...she was in love.


The zoo is such a fun place to be. I can't wait till we move to Texas and have tons of zoos and aquariums for us to go to.

I know which exhibits we'll be going to when we head to the zoo! Did you buy a pass?

Christy said...

No we just got a one day admission...We are thinking about getting a pass though

I loved the Hogle Zoo! They have such great exhibits, and they are really affordable. Glad Gabbie loved it!

If you do get a pass... you might be able to get into the zoos in Texas with it. I know you'd be able to get into the one here for free.

Hate to break it to you, but that was a leopard. :) Maddie loves the tigers and monkeys too. Glad you had so much fun.
