Zoo/Circus Weekend

A couple of weeks ago, the kids and I went to Salt Lake with Dustin's mom, his two sisters, and their kids. We had a lot of fun. We headed up Friday at noon at took our time getting there. We stopped whenever we needed to and just had a relaxed trip. We stayed at the Crystal Inn on 5th south. As soon as we got there the kids all wanted to swim, so Haley and Jill took them swimming and I got Whitlee to bed.

Saturday morning we got up and headed to the zoo. Dalley loved the zoo. He especially like the monkeys and the elephants. My favorite is the giraffes. I am always amazed at them. Whitlee was an angel as usual. She hung out in her stroller the whole time and never even made a peep. We rode the carousel and the train. Dalley really like the carousel and surprised me by picking to ride the polar bear. We left the zoo around 2:00. Dalley said he was disappointed because he didn't get to see any wolves or dang coyotes.

Dalley and Whitlee and I went back to the room for a nap while everyone else went shopping. Then we all got ready and headed for the Circus. Dalley LOVED it. He would get so excited. He couldn't sit still he was so excited. He jumped up and down and squealed. He was more entertaining than the circus. He got tired a little bit after intermission and he and I headed back to the room early.

The next morning we got up and took our time heading home. We had to stop at Cabela's so Dalley could see wolves and dang coyotes. We were going to stop in Gunnison so the kids could get their pictures with Mater, but by the time we got there they were all asleep. It was a pretty fun trip and I enjoyed spending time with my kids and Dustin's family.

Dalley was afraid of the clowns so he didn't want to get close enough to them to take a picture. I don't blame him. Up close clowns are kind of scary

He isn't opposed to standing close to cute girls
