A visit from Mike & Sarah Baker, April 2016

April 9, 2016-  Of course we had to go to Willow Park Zoo and playground in Logan, Utah.

One of the newer residents is a bearded dragon. He was not out in March when we were here last.

Looks like Ben can jump as far as a cockroach!

 I cannot believe we didn't have a group picture! Oh well, we did have lots of fun.
Almost got the picture. They come out fast!

Hanging out at the house and the park.
The children are always excited to discover a frog!



Ellie is not impressed when they uncover some slugs.

 There is an old well by the kitchen. We keep it covered, but the children know there are salamanders that live in the bottom of the well. It is not that deep, but a ladder is needed, so they have convinced Uncle Mike to help them check it out.

Andrew headed down the well. 

There was a toad at the bottom,
 as well as two salamanders.

       It was the highlight of the visit to discover and play with the salamanders before returning them to their home.
