A guy in our ward was running for Attorney General of Utah and so on the day of the primary elections my mom offered to take his kids for a few hours to give his wife, who has been working tirelessly on the campaign, a rest. Jack and I came along and Suz and Grace decided to meet us there too. It was really fun!

| It was fun watching my mom be a mom of little kids again. I'm so lucky for her example. |

| The baby elephant was, no kidding, eating its mom's poop. We were horrified, but after asking the zoologist nearby we learned that elephants only digest about 10% of the hay they eat - the rest is only partially digested and then pooped out. It is even harder for babies to digest the food, so they often eat the parent's poop so to get the grass that is already partially digested so they are more likely to absorb the nutrients. Gross! |
 |
| The boys were trying to act like monkeys. I think that makes Jackson the tree. |
 |
| How much would you weigh if you were an elephant? We never found out. The scale was on the fritz, but it sure was fun to watch the numbers bounce all over the place. |
 |
| Grace and Suz came with us. The new exhibit, Rocky Shores, was really neat. The sea lions and polar bears loved to tease the humans and be on display. |
