The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden

... so that's what we did!  We got up before the sun was over the mountains and planted bulbs and flowers at the Salt Lake temple.  It was SO fun!

Photo compliments of Jess :]

Can't wait to go back in April and see all the beautiful flowers we planted!!

Hold the Mustard Cause it's KETCHUP time!!!

A Zoo

A story first ... When my little brother was learning to read and write, one of the first things he was able to write was "A zoo".  Not even a complete sentence, just a noun.  And he wrote it everywhere.  Literally.  There are walls in my parent's house that have "A zoo" written on them from over almost fifteen years ago.  So, here's to my little brother and Hogle Zoo.

Some kind of lemur ... monkey ... chimp ... thing ...

Los elephantes!! It was cold so they were staying over under the awning ...

Gorilla ... there were three of them and one was a big fat one that I didn't get a picture of.  He ate his poop.  In front of us.  Gross.

 I love a monkey's uncle, yeah yeah ... and I'm mad about his chimpanzee!!

 Yeah, it snowed ... poor animals ...

 Awooooooooooo!!!!!!!

 White wolves- So pretty!

Here a llama, there a llama and another little llama.  Fuzzy llama, funny llama, llama, llama duck. :] (Click here for enlightenment.)

 Male animals are attracted to Lyz ... weird ...

 This giraffe is 6 months old!!  So cute!!!! :D

 Or music

 Sea Lion that was swimming around.  Just swimming round and round in circles.

 This one was playing with a stick.  For a long time.

 They were cute :]

 He was old.  His eyes also looked creepy and weird.

 And then he got tired and just sat on his little ledge until it started snowing again.

 Polar bear!  It was feeding time and he was DEVOURING those fish.  It was kind of scary how sharp his teeth were and how fast he was ripping through his dinner ...

 Gentlemen, I present the eligible and lovely Lyz Blomquist!!

 Sea otters!

 Zoo group :]

 More monkeys!!

 Lemurs

 White-handed gibbons (they had a 6 month old baby as well- he was so cute!!!)

 This is actually a sloth just chilling in the hammock swinging thing.

 Timon!
