Spring Break: Zoo!

Last month during spring break, we went to the Hogle Zoo with my mom. The highlight of the trip for Austin was the giraffes. They are his favorite animals (other than great white sharks) so he was so excited to see them. They were out walking around, eating, and just being cute. We went inside the giraffe house after watching them outside and found a trainer working with one of them. It was cool to watch all the tricks she was teaching him.

The highlight of the zoo for Kylee was the carousal. That girl looooovvvveeesss carousals, so she was in heaven.

The highlight of the zoo for Ethan was probably the reptile house. He spent a good portion of our day at the zoo being a bit whiney. We went to the reptile house last and instantly he was in a good mood. He wanted to see every single reptile and know every fact about them. He kept saying to me, "Mom this is so interesting!"

Since the reptile house was the last place we visited, the kids were exhausted by then. So exhausted that Kylee thought it'd be a good idea to lay down on the disgusting floor there to rest. If you've been to this zoo and know how horribly the reptile house smells you'd understand why I was so disgusted to see her lay down there. (Not too disgusted to let her lay there an extra few seconds while I snapped a picture, apparently!)
