Our Anniversay

This year Justin asked what I wanted to do for our 2year Anniversary. I informed him that I wanted to something as a family. Justin and I work so much that we hardly see each other, and I fill like Leah just gets passed from one to the other, as the other runs out the door. So we sat down and decided to take a mini vacation. We decided to take Leah to the planet aquarium and to the Hogal Zoo.
When we first got to Salt Lake City we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. Leah was so cute. She likes to watch her fish Mobile and so we really thought that she would like to see some real fish. She would touch the glass and watch the fish swim back and forth. We even got to see the penguins and watch them get fed. We then walked into this one room and they had this tank full of sting rays Leah thought that it was a big swimming pool. It was really fun to watch her face when she actually got to touch the sting ray. It was classic.

After we left the Aquariam Justin and I drove to Salt Lake and checked into the hotel. We took some time to let Leah nap and relax. Then we decided that we wanted to try something new for dinner. Justin decided that he wanted to try the Lion House Pantry. So we went to Temple Square and actually got to walk the grounds. It was so pretty. I have not been to temple square in the summer for a long time. They had the most beautiful flowers planted all around the temple. We walked the grounds and then we went and ate. We had some good food. It was not what we expected but it sure was tasty. After we finished eating we walked around the temple grounds a little more and took some pictures while Leah slept. It was a great way to end our first day in Salt Lake.





The next day we woke up early and head to the Hogle Zoo. There were so many people at the zoo to see little Zuri the Elephant. We got to walk around and show Leah all the animals. Leah was cute and liked watching all the animals for the most part. After we had walked around for a while we stopped and took a break and decided to get some Ice-cream. Leah has never had ice cream before but it did not take her long to decide that she loved it. A






After going to the Zoo we decided to stop at This is the Place Heritage Park....We walked around an even played some of the games. It was a lot of fun. As part of the park their was a train ride and a peting Zoo. Leah loved the animals. We were sad to hear of the fire that happened this last weekend at the petting Zoo were all the animals were killed. In this video that i posted was Leah petting a week old lamb. She is just so cute.

When we finised at the Pioneer Park we decided that a good soak in the pool would be a great way to end the day before heading home the next day. We had so much fun watching Leah. She decided that she could swim. an kept moving a hundred miles an hour. It is pretty funny to watch. So I hope that you enjoy.

I love all of those places! I'm glad you got to see the baby animals. I was sad about the fire. Fun anniversary. Let us know if you ever want to go to the zoo again. We have a zoo pass and can get you and Justin in for free.
