Hogle Zoo

Rod and Shelby came to see us on Friday. We spent the day with them and of course we ate at In and Out. We were able to help them plan their trip to California. They left on Saturday for Las Vegas and we left for SLC. We drove to Springville and stayed with Clyde and Jeannette. Jeannette had a great lunch for us with Brent and Jill. Jill made an awesome red velvet cake....she is so thoughtful. Then we took off to Hogle Zoo for the Jacobsen summer party. The kids really enjoyed the bird show and seeing all the animals. The zoo was closed for Jacobsen so we were able to see a lot of things in a short amount of time. The carousel was definitely a highlight as well. We hope to go back sometime when we don't have to rush but loved the time we had there. Jerry and I went back to Springville and put the kids to bed and then went to visit Brent and Jill. It is so fun having them right there in Springville. We had a great time and of course laughed a lot. They are the best. The next morning we attended sacrament meeting in Springville and then drove to Holladay to visit Kevin and Lindsay. Brooklyn, Landon and Lauren have the best time playing together. Thanks for a great breakfast! We were driving back and talking to Landon about his Leapster game. Both his game and Lauren's game had dead batteries. We just kept saying, "The batteries are dead so you can't play your game!" Suddenly Landon blurted out, "Heaven must be full of batteries!" A classic kid moment.
