pUt Me iN tHE ZoO

Whitney is going to hate that I am dishing out this great little secret but here it is... the BEST time to go to the Zoo, here in Utah, is . . . right now!!! The weather is nice and cool, there is like half the people than in the summer. And the biggest plus, I mean THE biggest plus, is the animals are super, super active. They are actually roaming about in their habitats instead of sleeping!!! We had a ball. Chamberlain and I went with Tim, Shelbie, Hudson, and Kelly, Whitney, and Gunnar. I love living back in "Happy Valley." I forgot how many friends we have up here as well as how many places to go. Its great. So since living here we have been trying to hang out with our cousins at least once a week. Which I love. I especially love when my girl cousins get together. Like at the zoo, several ladies came up to me and just asked, you guys must be sisters. Again, I love it. I think that my grandma (who has gone the way of the world) would be happy to see that all her granddaughters are so close and actually enjoy spending time with each other, kids and all. Anyway, back to the zoo. It was awesome, the monkeys were singing so loud you could here them all through out the park. We saw the baby elephant and Giraffe. And we were also lucky to hear the papa Tiger growling or roaring at his cubs because he wants to kill them. It was great. However, after seeing all the animals Chamberlains favorite was the Rattle Snake. I was beside myself, thinking there are all these cool animals and this is what you like. I was in shock. I HATE snakes! Chamberlain also told me that when he sees snakes he is just going to pick them up!
