2nd annual City Pass trip! Our new tradition!

If you haven't ever done the SLC city pass you are missing out. It's a must! We did it last year and had so much fun we are making it our new family tradition. You buy a citypass that gets you into all these cool places in Salt Lake. There's so many places to see we didn't even do half. Here were some of 0ur favorites:
Started off at Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. Beautiful as ever!



Greg's bro Lee came with us as our tour guide/5 and 6 hands. Thanks Lee for the sweet hookup on a hotel room and for all of your help.

Ethan doesn't love snuggling his sissy so much!

That changed after a while. I love this picture. I thought it was so sweet!

Off to This is the place.


We stopped at the candy store in the village and each picked one. Ty tried a lil of everyone's.

We even got to see Father Christmas and his reinderer. The kids loved that!

The kids warming their hands.

In front of the old school house! We watched a puppet show there!

Ethan didn't make it back to the hotel awake. He was plum tuckered out!

Hogle Zoo! We've never thought to go during the winter but let me tell you it's awesome! There were so many animals that were active that you don't normally get to see. Plus 3 new babies and no crowds! SCORE!

The zebras were one of E's favs.

The baby giraffe! The family's favorite!

I've never seen a cheetah this close before. No, I didn't zoom in on my camera! AMAZING!

The big horn sheep!

The siberian tiger! SO cool!

The lynx

Ethan loved the little monkeys. He's reading the zoo map to the monkey here.

Tyson loved the Apes. Here's the gorilla!
After the zoo we headed over to the Lion house for our lunch. Yes, it's included in the city pass! Yipee! Greg was so excited for the rolls and honey butter. It was soo good!

We missed our imax movie at the Gateway so we decided to skip it and head down to Thanksgiving Point's Dinosaur museum!

All the dinosaur displays were decorated! The kids loved it!

The kids dug for dinosaurs for a long time. Ty looked so cute in his little apron. Greg and I have decided he needs dinosaurs in his stocking! He loved them!

Ashton was so good with Ty. She helped him dig for lots of dinos!

See what I mean about the apron and dinosaurs?

My little paleontologist. Did you find a fossil Ty?

They were so excited to find these dino bones. They were sure it was a TREX!

We had a great family day! Thank you SLC city pass!
