For grandma's last day in Utah (until next time) we decided to go to the Zoo. She has never been to our Zoo and the weather was perfect for a little outing. The first thing we saw were these two HUGE turkeys. Rachel was a little scared of them (they are as big as she is, so I can totally understand) but grandma thought they were 'so cool!'
We spent quite a bit of time at the elephant and rhino exhibits. Rachel and Benjamin got a kick out of watching the elephants and rhinos eat. 
Of course we went for a ride on the merry-go-round. It was Benjamin's first time on one and this was his face before... (he seems really excited huh?)
And here is his face during and for a little while after. He was Terrified!! The poor little boy was holding on to me so tightly, I'm surprised my shirt didn't rip. I think we will wait a little while until his next ride.
Rachel loved riding it, and of course she had to ride on the baby elephant.
After our little ride we enjoyed a yummy picnic. Rachel thought it would be fun to take her PB&J and roll it into a big wad before eating it. According to her this kept her "sandwich from blowing away." I think I will take her word on that one.

Haha! I love Benjamin's scared face. Poor little guy. Merry-go-rounds can be a little freaky! Those turkeys are awesome. how fun.
I think I would have been a little skittish around those turkeys. I think they were saying "we are big and bad...DON'T MESS WITH US" in turkey!
And she is a girl after my own heart, I completly understand her "smushing the sandwich" logic.
Looks like you had a lot of fun!
