Last weekend we finally made it to the Phoenix Zoo. It is far smaller than most zoo's but that is due to the fact that they change out the animals due to the fact that some of them can not be outside in the extreme Arizona heat! We got to attend the first birthday party of the baby orangutan! She is getting big and learning lots from her mommy.
Some animals were not on display yet due to the cold weather we have had this year. But we still spend 6 hours walking around. The girls did great in the wagon all day and didn't fall asleep until we got in the truck. We found that Zoe loves POPCORN! Who would have known that the pickiest kid on earth would eat popcorn from the zoo! Zada got her first "big girl cup" (regular plastic cup with a straw). She did pretty good...only turned it upside down a few times. Tom and I had a little taste of home for lunch...they had a chicago hotdog stand!
I am thinking that we are going to have to buy a membership because it is only about 12 miles from the house...and open all year around! I love living in the sunny southwest!
Today the weather is beautiful also! We played outside for a few hours this morning and now the girls are laying down for a nap. It is Tom's weekend to work so most of the fun has to be homebound. I think this afternoon we might run to get some flowers for the planter and just enjoy the day at home.
