Plan B

We headed out yesterday as a family to go to the zoo. Unfortunately, so did the rest of Utah and half of Idaho. With no parking to be found from Sunnyside to Emigration Canyon, we defaulted to plan B. We diverted to Tracy Aviary.

Before we visited the birds, Macy got to ride the very charming rides at Liberty Park. They are very old and all squeaky metal. I had no idea how many fun things were at the park. We will definitely go back to explore the rest.


Macy was so excited to give them her tickets each time.

She loved the ferris wheel and really wanted to go back today.  



Side note: I think I have roughly 600 pictures of various carousel rides. I always feel compelled to take a picture each time she comes around just in case it captures the perfect expression. It is really ridiculous. Three hundred and eighty six of those pictures are from the Summerhays family trip to the zoo right before my parents left on their mission.  


This was her favorite part of the Aviary: A little building that I called the school. Macy knows that her cousins go to school and she was so happy to play student herself.


It turned out to be a nearly perfect day (you understand the "nearly" part if you saw the BYU game and/or the Utah game).

I love all the pictures. Thank heavens for digital camera because I too click away hoping for the one perfect picture.

Your carousel picture is so sweet and I love your pictures of the birds. It was a sad afternoon in the Oettli home after the game!

That is so funny about all of the carousel pictures. You got a great one! Those rides look really fun- Brady would love it.

As a young girl we spent lots of time at Liberty Park and the Aviary. I took tennis lessons at Liberty Park, too.

I had no idea they had so much stuff at Traci Avery and Liberty park. It has been years since I have been there. We'll have to go sometime.

I had no idea they had so many things to do at the park. JD seems like such a fun dad to want to be included in the fun.
