I am a mother of four, I have 3 boys and 1 girl. Our 2 younger boys struggle with a speech delay that we are working on. With that being said, things can get a bit chaotic around here and frustration levels rise. Living and learning with these boys and the speech delays has taught me patience and a whole new understanding that people see things in so many different ways. I am a stronger person because of this and feel blessed to have these little angels. I am married to a fabulous man and am living a happy life!

Utah Hogle Zoo

The weather has not been so great this April spring.  It has been cold and wet.  We finally got a break and it was a nice sunny day, still a little chill in the air but not too bad as long as you stayed in the sun.  Since it was such a nice day we decided to head to the Zoo.  We have always put the boys in our double jogger stroller and Abby in her own.  We decided to brave it and have the boys walk, they did pretty well.  Sebastian was being a bit of a pill and of course wanted to do his own thing like most 3 year olds.  Their favorite part of the zoo are the rides, the train and the carousel.

Sebastian looks like he is in Heaven!

They could have ridden this thing all day long if they had it their way.  I believe we went on it 4 times in a row.  Austin felt a little silly since he is 12 and all *smirk*.  I had to point out to him that little kids, big kids, and adults were all riding.  After the 2nd time he seemed to ease up a bit, just a bit though.

After we walked through the Gorilla building, Gabe stumbled across this statue and had a great time playing there for a little while.  Soon after, Sebastian was right there with him.
Sebastian also found great interest in the baby ducks that were laying by the pond.
They weren't quite as interested in the giraffes as I thought they would have, oh well!
But, they did take a bit more interest in the Tiger that was laying so close to the fence.

We did buy season passes to the Zoo so I am sure with our frequent visits there they may take interest at some point.  One can hope anyway  :)
