Zoo-Mania!

We took Taylee to the zoo for the very first time

on Sunday.

She had a great time and even managed

to spot a few

animals while cruising the park.

We enjoyed the company of our good friends
Lana, Danny, and little Tavin.

Tavin is just a bit younger than Taylee

and he was sure a good boy!

Kent and I were so impressed by how content
he was to chill in his stroller.
Our little Taylee is sure a busy body!

Taylee loved the elephant exhibit!

Not the real live elephants exactly,

but a huge metal elephant that played music.

Go figure!

Although the kids look kinda freaked out,
they both had a great time on the carousel!

Taylee was so excited to roam independently,

climb rocks, look at animals, AND people,

that she eventually wound up wearing

Tavin's monkey backpack.

Otherwise known as a kid leash.

This was working really well until

she stood in the middle of the

zoo screaming "on, on" (which really means off!),

and pulling the monkey off her back. Heehee.

That's my girl!

All in all, we had a great day at the zoo!

We are so glad that spring (maybe even summer?!)

has finally arrived in Utah!

P.S. Is anybody besides me having a

difficult time with the spacing on blogger?!
