Thursday

We took the day to head down to Salt Lake City to meet up my little sis Meagan and her hubby Max and it was SO MUCH FUN!!  I always miss my sisters when they move away... sigh...  But it makes days like this all the more fun!

We spent the morning at the Hogle Zoo - BEST ZOO EVER!  For reals.  It was super nice, super cute, super clean (an Amy must) and the perfect size.  Had great lots of animals that you could see up close but wasn't so big that you were left wondering if it would ever be over.  Can't say enough good things about it!

The happy train riding couple.

A terrible picture of the kids on the carousel.

Jack LOVED the zoo!  He was enamored by anything moving - people not included.

Calvin showing us some wild animal tendencies. 

Or just little boy tendencies - one in the same, right?

The zoo was right across the street from the "This Is The Place" monument so we took a few moments to check it out.  It was pretty cool!

Mimi was by far the most excited to be there...

 NOT SHOWN BUT VERY IMPORTANT:

We went to the very traditional all time favorite SLC CROWN BURGER!  It's been a must stop for our family since before I can remember and it sill always be until I die.  I love you Crown Burger and your giant milkshakes, crispy fries and rings, and of course, your burger that wears the crown.  Forgive me for forgetting to take a picture of you...

And after a long day on the road the kiddos got to take a luxurious bubble bath in Grandma Forbis's bubble-tub-o-rama.  Awesome.

This face cracks me up!  That silly Paiger.
