Hoogle Zoo

We took Evan to the Hoogle Zoo in SLC the day before my 26th birthday. Evan loved it. He ran full force through the zoo the whole time and we had to speed walk to keep up. We made it through the entire thing in less than 2 hours. You will notice the monkey backpack/leash on Evan's back. We didn't use it a whole lot that day but sometimes it is the only way to keep up with him in crowds when he weaves in and out of people.

Evan saw the turkeys first. He was trying to climb under the fence to go see them. He certainly isn't scared of strange animals.

Evan's 2 Year Old Pictures

I took Evan to get his pictures taken for his 2 year old birthday. I brought a birthday cake for him to eat in hopes that we would get some cute messy pictures. When Evan saw the cake he threw his arms up in the air and said "Party!" Evan was excited about the cake but he did NOT want to get dirty in order to eat it. He used the candle to get some frosting and then he poked his fingers into the cake and licked them but he would not grab a hand full or put it in his mouth. I guess his Daddy has influenced him over the last year since he could have cared less about getting dirty on his 1st birthday. The lady at the portrait studio kept telling me to smash his face in the cake but I didn't have the heart when Evan obviously didn't want to get messy. Oh well-it still was a great way to show his personality.
