LIONS, TIGERS, BEARS AND NO SNAKES

Saturday after the 5K we met up with Kami and Erik. We first went to the Living Traditions Festival in downtown SLC. We were told that there would be mucho (lots) of free food samples from different countries and cultures. I guess that free in other languages must mean money, because NOTHING WAS FREE!!! Not even the ATM where it cost Clayton $3.00 to withdraw money! Grrrr.... Anyway we wandered around for awhile and decided that it looked cooler (as in rad or groovy, not the temperature cool) from the outside and decided to leave. But not before we found a rousing game of bocee. We lost the first game against some unkown hippies, but won the second. Ya we're pretty awesome.

Leaving the festival we decided to hit Hoogle Zoo. I haven't been there in a million years. Ok so maybe not that many. The last time I went I was probaby 5 or so. Here are some pics from our zooing... WARNING: there are a lot of pictures.

Ahhh...how cute! I was talking about the elephant not Kami and Erik...Kidding!
Love the butt shot. Thanks Kami!
After breeding a cow a few weeks agao, Clayton thinks that he also knows how to breed an elephant.
Shout out to the cougs! Go BYU. This might have been the most exciting exhibit of the day. This cougar was irrate with this man. He (the cougar) kept coming up to the edge of the cage where the man stood and growled. The guy must have been a Ute fan.

Kami is the world's SLOWEST photographer.




This drinking foutain is one of the only memories I have of visiting Hoogle Zoo as a kid.
Erik chasing the peacock.

Ya I coordinate my clothes with my activities. Not really, but pretty appropriate, eh!?! Maybe next time I will dress in a safari vest or something.

I never liked the zoo as a kid, but Kace loves it, so I guess I will suffer through it. I did get a nice pic of penguins mating though, so that was entertainment.
