Hogel Zoo

Landen got yesterday off from work. It is always nice when he gets to spend a whole day with us. We decided to take Andie to the zoo since she loves animals so much right now. She had a really good time but didn't really like the idea that she couldn't touch the animals. One of her favoirte toys to play with right now are her two stuffed animal monkeys. She goes to bed with them and everything. It is so funny to watch her with them. Of course we had to go take her to see the monkeys. She loved them. After I downloaded all of these pictures on here I realized that we only got one picture with a real animal. All of the rest are with fake statues. That is pretty funny.

When Andie saw this Ape she said "Monkey!" and ran over to it and gave it a big hug.

She really like this playground

She of course loved this because there was water

once again......water The only picture with a real animal. The white alligator


Andie had fun but I think liked being able to touch the animals at the petting zoo more. I think he favorite thing at the zoo were the monkeys and the girafs. Oh and of course all of the water features that we saw.

Irrigation

On Monday night my parents had irrigation in their back yard. Of course we had to take Andie over there. She loves anything that has to do with water. She had a lot of fun. She just kept running back and forth through the water. She didn't really want to sit in the water or lay down, just run through it. When my Dad was out there watering the garden and doing different things she would just follow him everywhere he went. It was so cute. She had fun but I think she would have had a lot more fun if she had a little friend to play with in the water.

We had fun. Maybe next time we will bring a friend for her to play with in the water.

Petting Zoo at Thanksgiving Point

On Saturday we decided to take Andie to the petting zoo at Thanksgiving Point. SHE LOVED IT!!! Right when we walked outside to where all of the animals are she ran right over to the cow and stuck her hand inbetween the fence and started petting the cow. She was so excited to pet all of the animals. I knew that she really liked animals but I have discovered that SHE LOVES THEM!!! She has always been drawn to dogs and cats but I thought every little kid was.

Right when we got into the building she was drawn to this big cow.

She weighs as much as a couple new born Lambs

She was SO EXCITED to pet this cow!!!

Her favorite thing of the whole day was riding this pony. She absolutely loved it! She got to ride on the pony twice. I am sure we will be back just so she can ride it again.

Who needs to pay to go the aquarium when you can go to Cabelas?
She loves fish. She calls them "Shishies".

If we were looking at something in the store and we set her down she would run at fast as she could back to where the fish were.

It was such a fun day! I am sure we will take Andie back to the petting zoo. She gets in for free and we only had to pay $3.50 to get in.

We ended the night with a BBQ at Anjali and Garretts for Brian's birthday. It was yummy food and good company.

Happy birthday for the month of August!
