ZOO TIME FUN!!!



On our way back from Idaho, we decided to stop at Hogle Zoo and give the kids a chance to get out of the car and run around. We only had an hour to see everything before they closed so we went crazy fast and saw just about everything that there was to see. Treyson hadn't ever been to the zoo and Addi didn't really remember when she went so they were both so excited and loved every minute of it. Enjoy the pics.

There is one just one really quick story about our trip to the zoo that I would like to share....




...Meet Tino


See Tino sleep.



See Tino when Tino gets woke up. The End.

Told ya it was really quick! Ok, so that was the short version for those who don't like to read, but I can't just leave it at that. While we were at the zoo a bunch of the animals were sleeping, which was cute, but not as fun as when they are playing. We had already seen Tino, but on our way out we decided to see if he happened to wake up. Sadly, he hadn't. I tried knocking on the glass and he didn't budge. Although, at least with the human ear, you couldn't really hear it very well since the glass is so thick. Anyway, Subrina (my sister-in-law) started taking some pictures of him and the flashes made him start to twitch a bit. I got excited and went to try to knock again, but right when my hand was about to hit the glass, his arm went flying back and scared the heeby jeebies out of me. Subrina and I started laughing and the others came quickly to see what was going on. They got up close to the glass and Tino flung his arm back and smacked the window. The girls of course screamed and jumped back. Right then, Tino came flying up and got on all 4's and just glared at us. We were all laughing by then and Jessica (our cousin) put her face up close to the glass and Tino went flying up to the glass, which he was already pretty close to, and practially shoved his nose right up against the glass looking very, very angry. We were all still kind of laughing, but at that point we were expecting Tino to start beating on the glass to try and get out so he could kill us. Although it's not likely he could break the glass, it was still kind of scary, especially with my little babies in there. Anyway, we all kind of backed off and were looking at the orangatang when Tino decided to cool off and went to the gate to go outside, even though it was shut. My point is...Don't mess with Tino when he's sleeping!!
