Within walking distance from our hotel was a Mexican Zoo. I had heard on the internet that it was a must-see if we were there, so we ventured over. We had a great time- and if you ever get the chance to visit a mexican zoo, you should.

Things are very different at this zoo vs. Hogle Zoo in Utah. You can buy food to feed the animals, and can pretty much feed anything (if you dare). You can also pay a little extra and hold/play with baby tigers and jaguars, and play with Monkeys. It seems cheesy, but the zoo was one of my favorite things we did down there.

Bryan and Lorrie got to hold and play with Monkeys. The rest of us opted for the tigers

Feeding the animals

We had the giraffe eating off our heads- I know, we are a little silly.

3 month old baby bengal tiger that we got to play with. He was a little feisty and we had to watch ourselves.

This little tiger was mellow and fun to play with

Playing with the feisty tiger- they are very strong, even at 3 months.

PV Pics

My Puerto Vallarta post may be a few posts. I tried for 2 hrs to upload photos tonight, but I think my computer (and blogger) had an Overload. I took about 600 photos, so I obviously need to pick and choose. What an awesome trip.

So Here we start. I love taking pictures- and am always trying to get models to practice on. I am very excited for a Photography class I am taking in March, so I will post pics if anything is any good.

Lorrie's husband Bryan is into photography also. I conned him into taking a few of me and Brett (which Brett just LOVED lol)- which is what I finished and is now on our blog above, and I took a few of them. Here are a few that I have done so far.

MATC

Brett's Dad Clay is the President of the MATC (Mountainland Applied Technology College) and recently they opened their new, $19.8 Million 18.2 Acre Thanksgiving Point Campus. We were lucky to be invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Clay had been working on getting funding for this campus for several years... and finally got it and construction began. It is truly an amazing building. The Culinary Art area is so fantastic I want to take classes myself.

Here are a few pics from the ceremony. We are so proud to have Clay in our family and can't wait for him and the students to enjoy their new facility
