The lion says "Roaaaarrrrrr!"

A few weeks ago my friend Jess and I packed up our kids and headed for Hogle Zoo. This was my first time going out to a very public and busy place with both kids without McKay, so I was a bit nervous. It actually ended up being a wonderful experience and relaxing.....go figure! It's because Jess's kids are super well behaved and Dax loves Cam, so he plays really well with her and does whatever she does. They ran around to most of the animals Roaring at them like lions :) I love how well Dax plays with her. Maybe they'll get hitched one day!

It blows water out of his trunk.

Grayson and Jess's other little girl Leah are pretty much as easy as they come, so they both just sat in their strollers taking in the sites and what views they had of the animals. It was nice that Jess and I got to actually talk as we watched our kids play.

Dax and Cam sitting on the elephants nose. 

Jess, Cambri and Dax checking out the Rhinos

They are pretending to be eagles flapping their arms and yelling "Caw!"

They can't find the seals

This was one of Dax's favorite parts

Waiting for the polar bear.

Cam hurried to turn around so she could get her picture taken with her. (the polar bear is a girl I was informed)

Growling at the grizzly bears.

Goofing

He liked the bridge and wanted to run back and forth on it.

Gray had to get a picture with vulli his giraff and the real one.

Taking a break for a snack and drink

Last but not least we got to ride the carousal before we left 

Gray even got to ride it!

We had so much fun and cant wait for next time! ROAR!!!!
