What's that red thing on the Monkey's bum?

We decided to buy a family pass to the Hogle Zoo. The kids love it there and they love the playground thats there too! And I have to admit, I love the kettle corn that they make and sell there. We went on Monday and it was warm but not too hot. We had a little picnic, went on the train ride and played at the playground. They had a little art fair from Utah students so we got to walk through and see how talented Utah's students are, it blows me away! We loved seeing all the animals, they are still very active, and we even got to hear the Elephant roar? not roar but, do their crazy noise! The kids loved it, we had a great time!! If you think you will take your family more than once to the zoo this year you should look into the family pass!

We have a really nice zoo in Tucson - Reid Park Zoo. Some season passes are good at other participating zoos. I know when we were on vacation in Washington back in '96, we bought a season pass to a zoo there and it was good at Hogle and Reid Park.

Viki or should I say Anonymous,
I should check and see where else it can be used. We are thinking of planning a trip to San Diego. How great would that be to be able to go to the San Diego zoo for free!

So what does San Diego have that we don't? OK, I know, WATER and cooler temps and Shamu and WATER but, hey, we have a quarter mile long sandbox right behind our house complete with many lizards, spiders, and the occasional snake, some of them even rattlesnakes, ready-made hills for paintballing and motorcycle fun, and 6 very cute little girls for Alyssa to play with. Austin can play with our big boys. Come on, Chad, you remember it's a cool -- HOT -- place to visit and, what's more, free lodging!! (We have a queen-size SleepNumber bed!! just like the Radisson hotel chain.)
The invite is open any time. You can even bring my sister along with you, OK?

Call me with your new cell phone!!! ;) By the way I don't know how you lived so long without one!! Crazy!!! :) But now you wait and see in a few months you'll be more busy then you are now!! I don't know how that works!! It is supposed to be a convienence and time saving thing but instead it becomes time consuming!! Wierd!! :)
