Hogle zoo time

School was out and it wasn't too hot so Brooke me and mom decided we would take the kids to the zoo! I hadn't been to the zoo for at least two years and they had expanded it a lot. I grew up with the San fransico zoo so anything else is kinda weak but the hogle zoo is really coming up in the world! They got lions! 

We first went on the train that takes you around the safari park(brand new) we are out numbered by boys so the train was first lol. Briggs loves trains. Every time he sees the fronterunner train he screams. 

Believe it or not it wasn't too packed. But I had forgotten how many hills there are at that zoo. And when you look like this.....

It's not super fun. Something in me was telling me I better do fun stuff now because I'm going to lose time later. Shaylie loved the elephants. Most of all I think she wanted to eat icecream but the elephant exhibit was pretty good. The kids got to pet some animals and a little show. Everyone got along! Success! My favorite part would have to be gaining the trust of baby girl shaylie. She is scared of a lot of stuff right now. Anything that is unknown is scarey for her. She pretty much terrified of reptiles. Especially snakes. Poor thing freaked out when we going to go into the smaller animal exhibit. She can read so it's not like you can lie and tell her there aren't any snakes in there. So I talked to her and told her there is no way I would put her in harms way. I told her how much I love her and I would hold her hand hand the whole way through. It took a whole but she caved. It's been deferent since then. I can talk to her and she listens(at least when it counts) I feel like we have a stronger bond. Briggs on the other end is fearless and makes me nervous because he is really independent. 

It was a good day
