Zoo, Take Two

After our Zoo Lights trip on New Years Eve night, we decided we needed to go back when a) it wasn't quite as busy, and b) when it was warmer than 20 degrees. Kelly counted (to compare with the aquarium) and there were a pitiful 22 cars in the parking lot. Sunday morning in Utah is definitely the time to go out and have places to yourself. And with the weather being a balmy 33 degrees, I guess we accomplished both of our goals!

With snow covering all of the exhibits, most of the animals were tucked away inside. Our goal was to find big animals this time, since they would be more likely to catch her attention. The little snakes and lizards don't do much for her right now.

The elephants didn't agree with our "balmy" description of the temperature, and they were hidden away. Luckily, visitors are allowed inside the giraffe building and Audrey was mesmerized by the 20 foot versions of her Sophie the Giraffe toy.

Moving on, the Amur Tiger was out and about and also entertained Audrey for a while and did a great job posing for pictures. But in the end, the Zoo got the best of Audrey and she zonked hard. Another successful outing.
