The Zoo

My sister gave us some zoo passes that she wasn’t going to use.  With her 3 passes we managed to get 7 people in without paying for anything except parking (kids under 3 are free)!  My friend from our old Utah ward brought her 2-year old twins and I brought Nicole, Ila and Thomas. 

Despite the weather predicting rain, we great weather (only a light sprinkle for a few minutes.)

We got a nice long look at the Elephants which are possibly Ila’s favorite:6.8.12 zoo (4)Here is Ila petting a Mayalan Tapir
