Zoorassic Park

It's no secret that Scotty LOVES the zoo. Don't get me wrong I always enjoy a trip to the zoo, but Scotty is like a little kid at Christmas on these outings. He loves all animals. His ability to learn about and remember the weirdest facts about animals is phenomenal. He is always the teacher when it comes to things like this, and I am the student. As I stroll along and learn about the diets, geographical patterns, size, weight (and on and on) about EVERY animal. (In the back of my head wondering how he can remember all of this info and totally forget things I am constantly reminding him about.) Maybe if I had stripes, or was covered in fur he would pay more attention to me. (Maybe I shouldn't continue my laser hair removal treatments egh?)

Anyways...This summer the Hogle Zoo had Zoorassic Park, which basically highlights all different dinosaurs and there are animatronic dinosaurs all over the park. Apparently this is a huge deal and only is in a number of zoos in the country every year. The last time it was here in Salt Lake was forever ago (I don't know the specifics. Like I said that's Scotty's area of expertise.) So of course we HAD to go.

The dinosaurs were awesome and were 75% of their actual size. They moved, made noises and some even spit water. At first Jaxon was scared, but then he loved them. It was a great family day. And most importantly Scotty the kids had a blast!

Not sure what to think about them yet.

He was so funny with all the animals. He kept barking at the  gorilla's. He must have thought they were big 'doggies'

Jaxon was way more interested in the real animals than riding on the fake ones.

Trying to get Jaxon to stop 'barking' at the gorilla and to take a picture with me.

Playing with the boys and climbing on one of the dinosaurs.

Always so calm and happy.

They were exhausted!
