A day in Salt Lake City

In the hotel, anxious to get going. Quentin wouldn't let us stay there until check-out. He whined and complained until we left . . . at 9:30 a.m. After the hotel we went to the movie Up. We got there at the early bird ticket prices and were the only ones in the theatre. Which was nice when Quentin decided to squack like the bird on the movie!

We walked through temple square and Quentin had to throw pennies in all the fountains. Needless to say, "I'm all out"

At Hogle Zoo: Outside the monkey cages Quentin wanted a drink. He thought the lion was going to eat him!

Hanging over the Zebra fences . . . we were having a good time!



He loved the giraffes. Sorry Quentin, I don't think you'll be as tall as they are!


After walking through the zoo we went to the park in the middle of the zoo. Here is Quentin pretending to be a turtle.
The trip was so much fun . . . but so hectic! We decided that I was going with James at 5:30 Sunday night so we hurried and booked a hotel and got our bags packed. On the road by 7:00 and finally got into the hotel room by midnight. Don't get me started on how well we slept, I don't want to start another argument about it. Apparently it's all my fault ;) James' shuttle picked him up at 4:00 a.m. I got a phone call at about 4:30 to tell me that he still had the car keys and so he left them with the shuttle driver to bring back to the hotel!! It's a good thing that the guy was honest! I couldn't sleep until the front desk called me to let me know that the keys were there . . . Phew . . .
Driving wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks Dad for the GPS, I would've been bawling my eyes out! We walked a lot, I should've worn shoes instead of flip-flops, my feet are paying for it. I was an idiot and couldn't find the mall because of all the construction going on. We walked forever and then on the walk back to where our car was parked I figured it out but was too tired to walk through the mall. I blame it all on the lack of sleep, the construction, and my flip-flops. I picked up James and Kristin at the airport and was anxious to get in the passenger seat! Home my 1:00 a.m. and woken up at 7:30 a.m. by an excited little girl! I'm going to bed early tonight . . .

What cute pix. The one with you and quentin by a fence - it looks like you are going to put a fence board through his neck. He looks like he had a blast.

I'm jealous, even though it was hectic it looks like tons of fun! Just what I need. You made it home safe and sound that's what counts.
