Hogle Zoo 2012

Rachel and Joseph LOVE trains.  Doug LOVES trains.  So it was only natural that we started our adventure off by riding the train.



"What'cha doin' Dad?"


After that we were off to see the animals.


Isn't this baby elephant cute?!


The kids didn't really want anything to do with this metal elephant sculpture.  It periodically made sounds and squirted water.


Rachel was thrilled when she got to go on the carousel. Only an elephant would do.




My favorite animal is the elephant.  But, my favorite exhibit was the "Rocky Shores" exhibit.  I loved seeing the sea lions and polar bear up close.



The polar bear was absolutely mesmerizing.


He was swimming back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth.






After swimming laps he paced his enclosure.


"Look Dad!  Giraffe!"



Rachel wanted a ride so we pretended we owned a double stroller.


What's next?  Joe's outfit will give you a clue.


"Tiger!"


What a beautiful cat.



We saw a lot of animals and had a wonderful time.  But it's time to take our monkeys home.


"Later."
