Cousins Camp Utah Day 8 - The Zoo

The last day of Cousins Camp, actually, this was an extra day.  We didn't have time to go to the zoo the week before, the kids were disappointed, so I decided to stay for the morning to go with the kids. 
(We were meeting Sam in Tropic for a week there)

Anny sprinkled "Fairy Dust" on the girls so they could be so sparkly today.
Jackson under his breath was saying "hurry up with these pictures mom"
We loved seeing the new baby elephant Zuri.  He was fun to watch.
My camera ran out of battery half way through the day, so I borrowed some pictures from Anny.
The funnest part of the day, was watching a new gorilla on it's first day of display.  He was walking around his habitat, looking at everyone and even once started running while beating his chest.  I had seen that only once at the Omaha Zoo.  The kids enjoyed him.

It was getting late, and we had to still drive to Tropic (a 4 hour drive south).  We invited our friend's son, Dalton, down with us, along with Max and Zack.  We met Dalton at the zoo, then took off.
It was such a wonderful week.  I hope the kids will look back at these times with great memories.

This was an awesome week for you girls and the children! I am so blessed to have beautiful daughters who are raising their children righteously and making sure that the cousins know each other. Families can be together forever and it sure helps when we love and care for each other as well as having fun together. Thank you for the wonderful report on the week with the great pictures.
