Zoo Rendezous

Tyler and I had the opportunity to attend the annual fundraiser for Hogle Zoo this year. Tyler had been working at the zoo building the new animal hospital and his company bought tickets and invited us to come. We couldn't pass up this opportunity knowing it is probably once in a lifetime. The tickets were $150.00 a piece so of course we said yes. We weren't sure what to expect but were excited. When we arrived they had valet parking which we opted out of being cheap as we are. When we walked in the front gates we were met by an eagle about as tall as Brooke, that they were showing the guests. The zoo was closed to the public and all the zoo workers were showing off the animals. Once inside the zoo they had local restaurants with booths giving away free samples. There was Flemings, PF Changs, Z-Tejas, Chipotle, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, just to name a few. The zoo was also debuting the new baby elephant, so we got a chance to see her before her bedtime. We had such a fun time watching the animals, enjoying the great food and watching the people. I think I had more fun people watching than seeing the animals. We had such a fun time and are thankful for the opportunity we had to go.
