DAY SIX: Taking the "animals" to see the animals...

Sporting the John Deere hat and the monkey backpack/restraint. Neither stuck with her for very long.
Nora and Caleb in the stroller.
The Mata Family on the train. "ooh... agua"
Sure, she had a good time. When we didn't have her restrained.....
"wrinkle my nose" on Tio David's shoulders
Once again time went way too fast! Thursday was our last full day together with the Iowans. We started off the day by heading down to SLC to the Hogle Zoo. The weather started off a bit cold, but eventually warmed. I love zoos. So does Malia. Although, the girl was quite amusing by pointing out ALL of the water, or "agua" as she says. Animals everywhere, and she is intrigued by the water. Here are some of the animals we got to see... photos compliments of Britt, David, and myself.


After the zoo we headed down to the big Cabela's store. Some of us stayed in the van with sleeping kids and ran over to the nearest (not actually very near) distribution center. After that we went over to our great aunts house. They were very nice and made dinner for us. It was good to get to see them more. I really appreciated them all coming up to the sealing and was sad that we didn't get to spend very much time with them that day. It was nice to hang out at their house and spend more time with them. Once again, a long day, but tons of fun.


Ahh... the power of toddlers. It was amazing how fast they dissembled the room!

Love those aunts! I'm impressed by your blogging skills. Do you think we really have to do a RS blogging night?
