Mom and I took the kids to the zoo yesterday. Unfortunately my camera still isn't working, so no pictures. But, if you really want to know what it looked like, it was just like all the other times we've ever been except that Lila was there :)
The kids really enjoyed it. They haven't been since Jax was 4 and Sunny was 2 1/2, so it was a new adventure. They liked the Elephant show the best, and also the tiger and cougar.
I had a fun time too, but noticed something that I hadn't before. Some of those poor animals have the worst cages/enclosures I have ever seen. The poor cougar lived on concrete, as did the bears. The penguins also had all concrete and a small pool. The tiger had a nice enough place, but it was small and he was pacing and growling the whole time. Actually several animals were pacing and seemed unhappy. I felt really bad for many of the animals, and that means a lot coming from me. I am not an animal person at all.
Anyway, all in all it was a fun day and if you're interested, vote for proposition 2 to help the zoo!

We were at the zoo yesterday too! If only we would have known. I would love to have Jackson and Jacob meet.
Oh and I am with you about the animals and the zoo proposition.

I know that under the old zoo tax they have made Elephant encounters and the Asian Highlands. If I lived in Salt Lake County I would vote for it too.
Off topic but thanks to your post on cloth diapering and how not scary it is, I convinced my honey to let me get a couple and we just got them in the mail. I am super excited to try out cloth diapering. Thanks for sharing.
