A Trip to the Zoo

Matt took the day off on Monday so we headed to Salt Lake's Hoggle Zoo. It's not the greatest zoo in the world but we had fun. We showed Preston all the animals and I think that he was most interested in the Elephants and the Rhinos. He also had an encounter with a little muskrat. They kept entertaining each other by running back and forth and then stopping and staring at each other. Preston also rode his first carousel and he loved it. I couldn't get a good picture but Matt said he was clappingg the whole time.

And then as if the zoo was not enough animals after dinner we went to a park in Midway to feed the ducks. It was fun because the ducks would get so close to you and one even ate the whole piece of bread right out of Preston's hand. But it was not fun and games after a duck tried to eat Preston. Preston was bending over trying to do his yoga down dog pose when a duck came right up and snapped at his head. Matt pointed out that he probably thought that Preston's head was a giant piece of bread since his hair is so white.

Last but not least - Matt bought Preston a bike to start his training for a motorcycle - stay tuned for that post- but Preston's helmet came in the mail today the "lil' bell shell" is what it is called. Preston looks so funny in it.
