Our second weekend in Utah we spent time with both Ryan and Ashlee. At Ashlee's suggestion we went to Temple Square to see the 8' open replica of the Salt Lake Temple. It was amazing to see how exact the details are, down to the chairs and art work on the walls. Then we made a trip to the Hogle Zoo. Who knew that you can have as much fun with adult kids and small kids at the zoo. Here are a few pictures.
In this picture is the oldest elephant in North America and Nick. They both celebrate their 50th birthday this month. Nick's June 17th and the elephant June 26th. Just had to take this shot. As the zoo attendant said Nick is older than all of the elephants in North America.
This is actually only one turtle. I thought it was really cool.
The baby elephant is 10 months old and was really playful. We really enjoyed watching him. The zoo keeper sprayed him with water and just after she put the hose away he went and rolled in the mud puddle. Reminded us of how kids are just after they have been cleaned up.
