More Utah adventures: Hogle zoo and thanksgiving point train show

TLWe had lots of fun this past week! Wednesday we met up with Alissa and kids at the zoo after school. I have vague memories of going in the summer as a kid (and animal Shaped drinks we would get on the way out ) but I'm pretty sure it's all been redone in the last 20 years or so . There was some construction but the exhibits we saw were awesome. And the weather was nice and since it's winter we basically had the place to ourselves :) Saturday we went to a model train show at thanksgiving point. The kids were generally mesmerized by the Harry potter castle (we are reading the first book right now) and the amazing Lego creations. And they got a cookie and a lollipop..  Not too shabby !!!

Lemurs!

The fake animals you can climb on and pose are always the best part

A river seal was totally putting on a show for us . I think he was lonely. 

And no one looking at me. Of course.
