A trip to Salt Lake




Our youngest daughter is in college in Salt Lake.  I had not seen her for an entire month.  It seemed like a very long time.  So Friday her dad and I drove out to visit and had a wonderful time.  Saturday we went to the Hogle Zoo with two of her roommates and enjoyed seeing all the baby animals.




Kelsey, Kayla and Amber



Baby snow leopard







It's a treat to see such beautiful animals, but sad, too that they are endangered and in a cage.  I always have mixed feelings at the zoo.....




....but it's fun nonetheless.

I was thinking a couple of days ago that Amber must be off to college now. I'll bet it seems very quiet with her gone. Looks like she's having fun, though. I love the zoo, any zoo. True, it's not so nice for the animals, but if they're going to be there anyway, I might as well enjoy my chance to see them, I figure.

How wonderful to visit your daughter, and go to the zoo. The baby snow leopard is adorable. Love Amber in the turtle shell. And the gorilla is a crack up.

I too have a conflict with zoos. It is a shame to cage up nature for our enjoyment.

There's a lion water fountain like that at the Tulsa Zoo. Your daughter is really beautiful! I bet she is enjoying college. I'm glad you got to see the snow leopard. It seems like they always hide in their cages. At least he's protected there!

What a lovely visit. We haven't seen our son for nearly a month now, and we miss him! How nice that you got to meet your daughter's friends.
