Kilts, Clans & Quails

Here is what me and jo hit up this weekend:

{Willow Park Zoo}

Located in Logan Ut! Who knew there was a zoo in Logan eh? We loved it.

It isn't a zoo with lions, tigers or bears, but it also doesn't have huge crowds and cost only $1 to get in.

It started out as a bird refuge and so most of the animals found here have feathers.

My favorites were the monkeys and the bald eagles. Jordan liked the huge variety of pheasants and to watch the boa constrictor in the cage next to the birds try to find a way in.

{Logan's first ever Scottish Festival}

Who could pass this up?

We had a lot of fun wandering around looking at all the different Scottish Clan's (family) booths. We didn't see jo's family clan, The Gordons, but we did learn a lot about them.

I had to sneak this picture.

So obviously you could dress up in kilts, pirate costumes, or medieval clothing at this Scottish festival. We saw all these.

My FAVORITE Picture taken during this event.

Yes, these people are LARPing (Live Action Role Playing). This event was probably suppose to be for the children but whatevs.

I love it cause these two were sooo in to it. They had the best stances and moves. WOW.

I love the kid looking up at these two too. He was killed and obviously lost an arm in battle.

There were many men in skirts, or as the Scots call them "kilts."

jo loved these two hillbilly Scots.

(Also, notice the cat on a leash in the background. Weird?, not here.)

Leaping Lulu!

We love this band. Kent, the one playing the drum like instrument, works with me at the County Offices.

jo's new best friend.

We walked by this gate on the way back to the car and this little booger stuck his neck out of the fence and was bleating like crazy.

(I think he wanted to eat jo's papers)

Anyways. We had a great weekend.

Logan UT rocks my socks!
