I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Move over, San Diego
Ahhh, Willow Park. When I was a child, I thought it was a bona-fide zoo (only those from Logan will understand how humorous that is). In its defense, it houses several undomesticated species, including monkeys, porcupines, and... let's see... turtles? Oh yeah, and lots of peacocks. Noisy, beautiful peacocks, and kids dig it. We picked up Cafe Rio takeout, had a picnic, fed the fish, and swallowed a thousand tons each of cottony pollen dripping from the park's namesake trees. Overall, it was a very lovely afternoon (minus the allergy-related suffocation situation).
Bryn was tired of walking, which is not surprising given the enormous nature of the park. Eli had to be constrained because he insists on running in directions contrary to logic and/or adult wishes.

I cannot believe that you would imply that Willow Park is anything but an extraordinary, gigantic animal viewing party. Nothing compares.
(to the tune of I love the Mountains)
I love the monkeys
I love the willow zoo
I love the peacocks
I love the willow zoo
I love feeding the fish with all the ducks around
willow park zoo, willow park zoo, willow park zoo, willow park
(repeat a zillion times)
Fun times! Between your and Cami's blogs, I'm wondering if you work? :-)
Just kidding...I know you've worked about two years in one.
It's ABOUT TIME you took some quality time off!
Willow Park is like a walk in my backyard! We actually have an amazing zoo here in Ohio and it takes 2 days to see every animal! It's fun! You should visit it someday! Although, it doesn't have porkupines like Willow zoo so it's not as special! :)
From a Cache Valley Resident who happens to be your mother:
"You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!"
At least when you got lost at Willow Park we could usually find you before the mofia did!
By the way, you have great photos and I enjoyed your clever usage of words, as usual!
