To You With Love: Hogle Zoo

On Friday August 13, 2010 We went to the Hogle Zoo

We saw "nature's nightmares"

as you can see Cache is clinging to Steve

Looking at Piranhas.

Cache thought they were the coolest think ever. He kept making us go back to them.

Cache LOVED the merry-go-round!

When we were waiting in the queue line he started getting a bit impatient.

Then it was finally our turn. Cache sat on his lion and was happy....he had no idea it got better.

Soon he was going around and up and down. He loved it.

I am so happy I took him first because the second time, once he was on he animal, he knew he was supposed to be moving.

Yup, I could hear him on the other side of the merry go round "encouraging" them to hurry up.

Then it stopped...

Cache was quite upset. We had to hurry and get his mind off of it (then we made sure we avoided the merry go round the rest of our zoo visit).

So across the way, to the elephants we went.

Baby Elephant (the day before her b-day)

Then to the rhinos...man they STINK

This picture was take of Cache at the bird show. It also just so happens to be right before he got in trouble with the zoo worker. Cache decided the show was boring, so he ran over to the grassy area as they were releasing some dangerous hawk. The zoo worker came up to him (right as Steve was standing up to get him) and said, "little boy, you need to go sit down." Cache looked at her like, who the heck are you? Then he sat on the grass and she said," you need to go sit over there." Steve held out his arms and Cache walked over looking slightly confused about at what just happened. Props to him for listening though.

We saw Melman/ the Giraffes

Cache was going crazy shouting, "Mom! Mom" at every animal window. He was fascinated.

This is a classic Cache face which stands for, "this is pretty cool, huh."

Here is Cache deciding if this is "Mom!" worthy (he says Mom! when he is excited)

It is Mom! worthy so here he goes with he deep pitched repetive, "Mom! Mom!"

Look at this Gorilla, just chillin. I had to throw this in ;)

CUTE!!

Notice the monkey leash is no more in this picture. Cache was freed. He was running and galloping all over the place.

Cache was freaked out by this statue. He was cool with it until it made a loud noise and sprayed water at him. So taking a picture with this elephant, didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. But, the moment was captured.
