Utah's Hogle Zoo - Packer Family Day

On Monday August 13th we went with the Packer Family to Hogle Zoo. It was also Glade's birthday so we were able to celebrate with Glade and wish him a happy 22nd birthday! The kids had a really great time at the bird show, Sterling even got to be the volunteer that the bird took money from! Daniel was partnered with Maddie. They were so cute holding hands and keeping track of each other! Each child had a partner in hopes of keeping everyone together. Daniel loved playing with Rais, he was excited that there was another boy, not many on the Packer side. There are 11 grand kids on the Packer side, only 4 of which are boys. Harrison was in the stroller the whole day so it just left Rais, James, and Daniel. Daniel has renamed Rais as "My Cousin Racer". Daniel has started making up things that he and "my cousin Racer" have done together. It is fun that they could spend some time together and build some memories. After the Carousel and the train and walking around the zoo until there was no more to see we went to Hillary's house to have Ice Cream Cake for Glade and to play a game. Lynette wasn't able to come to Hillary's because she had a long drive back to North Ogden with tired kids. Grandma and Grandpa came and watched the game for a while. My kids and Hillary's stayed and played together down stairs and had a good time! It was fun to have some family time and enjoy the Packer side!
We had a great time in Utah - no amount of time is long enough! There are always things we should have done, people we should have seen, and places we should have visited. Maybe next year!
