Utah - Part 3

Alright...lets wrap up this vacation already!  Here's the rest of our adventures in Utah!

On Thursday, we went to the Hogel Zoo.  It's a really nice zoo with several new exhibits.

 I swear this Lion drinking fountain has been there FOREVER!

 Linc and Carson are baby birds in their nest.

 They look like monkeys to me!

 Hey Linc, watch out for that Gorilla behind you!

 On Friday, we went to check out the new City Creek Mall in Salt Lake.  This mall is sooo BEAUTIFUL!!  I loved the landscaping and indoor/outdoor feel of the mall....so pretty!  

 Right when we walked in to the mall we say a Claire's Boutique and Brynlee immediately said "I want to get my ears pierced!".  I told her that she can whenever she wants as long as she knows it will hurt for a minute and she has to take care of them.  We thought about it for a minute and she really wanted to...so we let her!  She was really brave the whole time and only cried for a minute but stood perfectly still.  She looks so cute with her little earrings!

 More views from the City Creek Mall.

 We also went to the Kennecott Copper Mine.  It was really fun to see the huge mine as well as the HUGE trucks used there. 

 Look how tiny the school bus looks compared to those BIG trucks!

 This is a real wheel from a big truck.

 On Saturday, we headed down to BYU campus one more time with Dan's parents.  GO COUGARS!!!

 In the evening we hung out with Dan's friends from growing up.  Those guys are hilarious when they all get together!

 On Sunday night we went to visit my college roommate in Lehi.  Lyndsay was my VERY first BYU roommate when I lived in DT.  We got a long amazingly!   We haven't seen each other in years...like probably 10 years!  She has 5 kids now and our kids loved all of them!  Lyndsay and her husband Jonah made us a yummy dinner...thanks!  It was so fun to catch up!  Dan later told me that he can see why we got along so well as roommates b/c we get along so well and have a lot in common.  

Jonah playing games with all the boys!

 kids!!!

 Lyndsay and Lynette!

We had the best time in UTAH!!  We loved seeing family and friends!  Our kids were so sad to leave and cried themselves to sleep the night we got back home.  They still talk about Utah all the time!  Hopefully we can get back there again soon!
