Utah Revelings: The Safari

The drive to Utah was good.  Besides a snag in Sacramento, which took nearly 2 hours for navigation, a lunch break, and a potty/ refueling stop, we made pretty good time.  We also only had one meltdown right before the hotel stop (it was bed time for everyone so what else could we expect).   After taking a much needed day break from the car, we ventured to Hogle Zoo.  The kids had to try on what they considered appropriate attire for such an occasion, first.

Our Little Anna Oakley!

The Zoo's not exactly a World War, but I like that Eli's ensemble is complete with dirt smudges on his face for camouflage.  

All, in all, this Safari was a success.  No one was eaten by the tigers or charged by the elephants.  The most hilarious thing(s) that happened in conjunction with this trip was lunch time. Eli and his cousin were sitting next to each other eating pizza.  Eli eats Pizza toppings first so he can get a little messy.  Grant grabbed a napkin and started wiping Eli's face saying, "You're messy!"  It was SO funny!  

Eli can also eat a half of a pizza by himself, so unfortunately his portion wasn't enough to satisfy him. Grant, however didn't eat all of his, so Aunt Brittany gave Eli the rest of Grant's pizza.  The next Day, I guess Grant told Brittany that, "Eli was SO hungry for my pizza."  Well, probably at that same moment, I was getting home from running an errand and Eli said, "Mom, I SO hungry for Grant's pizza!"  Some weird connection between the only two boy cousins on my side?  Maybe.
