Zoo 2008

My mom,Tailor and I decided to take another trip to the zoo on mother's Day weekend. We have so much fun going that we are making it an annual trip. My mom and I use to go with my Aunt and her two kids every year and so now we are going to go with Tailor now every year.
Tailor LOVES to see the animals, I feel bad because she could look at one animal for an hour and when I go to the zoo I like to see ALL the animals. So I have to tell her there "Lets go, Lets go" a million times so we can TRY to see all of them. This year we did really good, we were able to see all of them except for the Lions, does anyone know if there were any lions?
On our way there, I have to say my mom and I got lost. We were in two seperate vehicles which made it worse, BUT the good thing was I didn't have to bite my tongue when I was mad because Tailor was with her. At one point I was on 1-80 EAst on the belt route instead of taking the turn off to Foothill Dr. and at one point my mom was on the road going to Park City (which wouldn't have been a bad alternative). Then we both had to call my brother to ask him for directions, by the time I called him after my mom finished talking with him he just laughed when he knew I was calling. I think he thought we were in the same vehicle and wondering why I would call right after mom called.
BUT we finally made it and we had a great time. After the zoo we went to the Sheraton where we stayed for the night and let me tell you the fun did not end at the zoo. I turned on 500 S going East and if you know Salt Lake, 500 East is a one way street going West, so I had to hurry and drive into a parking lot and turn around still looking like I knew what I was doing (I hate feeling like an idiot and I definately felt like one at that point). So my mom and I finally made it to our hotel where Tailor and I went swimming in the hot tub, we didn't last very long because for one thing she should not have been in there and another it was way too hot for both of us.
It was so cute, later that night we met up with my other brother at the hotel and it was pretty late so I had Tailor laying by me trying to get her to go to sleep, which wasn't to hard considering she didn't have a nap that day and she was ready for bed. When my brother was talking to my mom Tailor sat up and said "Be Quiet I am sleeping". It was so funny because my brother looked at her so serious and said "No you go to sleep", my mom and I thought Tailor was going to start crying because my brother is a built guy and someone that you would think Tailor would be afraid of but NO she kept telling him to be quiet and he kept telling her to go to sleep, it was soooo funny and very cute! They also had fun joking around with each other the next day. He is really cute with her even though kids are not his top priority in life.

Sounds like fun! We are going next week for our annual trip, and I'm pretty excited!
Lions? Yes are you kidding me? Unless for some reason that entire section was closed!
Janette obviously missed the white alligator, because I asked her if it was still there and she said NO!
You 2 girls are silly. I wonder what else you missed.
We'll have to take the kids together sometime. You, me and Janette. We'll attempt it without husbands. What do you think?

She's right, I did miss the white alligator, and was pretty upset when I found out it was there and I didn't get to see it. :) So I'm slow sometimes, what can I say?! You and your mom crack me up getting lost like that! LOL At least you made it everywhere safe, maybe just not at the time you planned :) The lion section was closed.
