By the end of our day the kids were all getting fussy (Kai included) because of the heat. We were on our way out of the zoo when we passed by the Wildlife Theater and they were about to start a show. We decided to take a chance with the kids and stopped in for the show. The kids loved it, and Kai even fell asleep. It was a good way to end our zoo adventure.
Each year the Hogle zoo adds more to its collection. Next year they will open the African Savanna (which is under construction now) and we were able to see some pretty tall ostriches running around through the gate to the construction section. Pretty cool! This year they added a splash pad for the kids to run around in. Very nice. Zuri had a blast, and it cooled her down for a while. This summer has shown us just how much Zuri really doesn't like the heat. At all.
We had the fortunate experience to go to the zoo at a time when there were several of booths set up promoting different businesses in the valley. One of the businesses was Burg Pediatric Dentistry, which some family members work for. Molar Man showed up (J's cousin-in-law, Keith) and they had face painting, games, prizes and more. Zuri won the bean bag toss and chose a scorpion plastic toy as her prize (of all things). She then had her face painted with a lizard (over a mermaid or a butterfly), and got a temporary tattoo of molar man. She had fun, and kept wanting to see the lizard on her face.
It was hard to get her away from that tank. She loved to watch the fish, the crabs, and the anemones
Made of legos!
She wanted to ride on the elephant trunk, which squirts water
Kai falling asleep.
Look at that tongue!
