We had been wanting to take Emery to the Zoo all summer and fall and never made it, so we decided to pick the coldest day in December to go. We saw 6 other patrons, 50 different kinds of monkeys, 3 giraffe, 4 Asian cats, 2 zebra and a cougar…Seriously, I think that was it. The Hoagle Zoo has “Zoo Lights” in December, so we got there around 3:30 so we could see the animals before it got dark and the lights turned on. We had to leave early because we were all so cold. Come to find out, we would have been kicked out of the zoo before the lights turned on and would have had to pay to get back in again to see the lights. Lesson learned: Don’t pay $20 in December to go to the zoo. Emery had fun, though!
Two days before Christmas Eve we wanted to go see the lights at temple square and take Emery and Jane to the mall to see Santa. We went to the mall and stood in line for two hours before we saw Santa. We considered leaving, but Emery would not have let us – needless to say, we didn’t make it to see the lights that night!
Emery was so excited, then got a little shy when she got up to him. I think it will be a good memory for her!
Waiting in line and fake smile for the camera
Santa was very nice, but we could not get him to look at our camera! I guess we couldn’t get Emery or Jane either – Oh well!
