Fall Break Staycation: Zoo, & Temple Square


This morning we got up and went to the zoo. We hadn't been since they created the new section with the seals, sea lions, otters, and the polar bear. The boys thought it was so great. The polar bear kept swimming the same loop over and over which included him gliding on his back. He looked so happy. The boys just giggled and giggled. It was especially a great trip to the zoo because the animals were so lively. The monkeys kept coming right next to the glass and staring at us. Then they would swing around from branch to branch and then come stare at us again. They were so fun to watch. There was a huge tiger that was trying to get the other 2 riled up so they would play but they weren't interested. They just kept hissing, saying "go away!" It eventually went and played in the water right next to the glass with a big plastic ball. It would bang the glass and it was exciting but a little scary. They are so strong. It was such a great show. After the zoo we had lunch and then went to temple square. The boys have only been there during the winter nights to see the Christmas lights. It was fun to just take them, walk around and talk about different things about our religion. They had a good time at the Children's Museum in the Church History Museum. After that we didn't have plans. We didn't know if we were going to stay at another hotel or go down and hike around Redmond. We thought we'd just play it by ear. Well we decided to just head to Redmond.
