Smile Please

Jeremy, Kylie and I just got back from a few days in Salt Lake. Jeremy had some more training to do up there and his company was nice enough to invite Kylie and I up for the few days. It was a nice change of scenery and fun to be in a new place. On Saturday we took advantage of being up there and took Kylie to Hogle Zoo. Last year when we took her with Jeremy's family we kept says we can't wait to bring her back next year because she will really love it then. Well, we're not sure love is the right word. She had been talking about the zoo all week. She was really excited to go, but when Saturday finally came she must have just been plain worn out. She fell asleep on the way and was never really as happy as we'd hoped the whole time we are there. She would get excited every once in awhile if she saw something she recognized, but she wasn't loving it like we had hoped she would. Maybe we'll try again next year! Here come a whole bunch of pictures where Kylie REFUSED to smile.

Kylie loves bird so we went to a cool bird show first. I think she thought it was pretty neat, but all we could get out of her was some clapping.


The carousel. Also something she really loves, but we could not get her to smile for one single picture

She recognized the Zebras and liked them

She was excited about the lion drinking fountain

During this picture she was saying, "Camels, come over here camels" and then she would click her tongue hoping that would motivate them to get up and come over. Too bad it didn't work. She tried really hard.

She absolutely hated the giant gorilla...

and the huge elephant and she was really ticked at us when it blew water out its trunk!

Have you ever seen anything so ugly in your life? This old lady was giving a spill on how important these things are and we should never kill them...Are you kidding me?? I wouldn't even get close enough to it to kill it.

The last thing we did was ride the train.
