On Wednesday, Marinda and I took advantage of the one sunny day of the week and took the kids to the zoo. In true Connor fashion, he insisted that we ride the train first.
After the ride, we went to look at some animals. I think everyone else in Utah had the same idea to go to the zoo on Wednesday, so we really didn't push to see everything. The monkeys are always a hit!
The zoo has really improved since we went as children! Instead of chain link fences for the big cats, there were huge walls of glass so you could be within inches of the animals. Pretty cool! This tiger was not very happy with our presence, however, and marked his territory right in Alton's face. One more reason to be grateful for the glass instead of a fence! :)
This year's zoo theme is "Zoorassic Park" and lifesize automated dinosaurs are placed throughout. Some of them spit, and this T-Rex (bigger in real life!) enthralled Connor and made Alton cry. They were pretty realistic!
After lunch, we rounded out our visit with a whirl on the carousel!
It was a fun day, and just looking at these pictures kind of makes me ache for sun. I have been complaining about weather since February, and I'm just going to stop. I have officially given up hope.

Sorry, that deleted comment was me, on my other would-be writer blog. But here's what I said:
Is it the lighting or is my little Alton going blonde?
His hair is definitely getting lighter! Not blonde, but not his baby-dark locks either!
