Phoenix Zoo

So a little while ago we drove down to the Phoenix Zoo! It was free with a Fry's card so we thought why not?


These are the girls we hung out with at the Zoo... what a fun bunch!


Ian had a lot of fun!


This is the funniest part... Part of the zoo was closed for construction and we had stopped to have lunch by some birds... Ian had gone wandering with Kristin and I look over and he is laying on the ground by the construction zone. I walked over there and he was laying down so he could see the tractors. Pretty soon he caught the attention of one of the workers who came and talked to him, pinned up the tarp so he could see better, and even gave him piece of a huge lug that had broke off the tractor! It made Ian's day! Ian came running over to me and showed me the lug and said it was for his birthday! I think this was Ian's favorite part of the Zoo! (The Tractors)







The habitats at the Phoenix zoo are awesome! The animals seem very happy there!



In the middle of the zoo there is an awesome splash park (and I mean really awesome!) For those of you who don't know a splash park is where water shoots up out of the ground so kids can get wet without being in a swimming pool! They are the best invention ever! Anyways... this splash park has a cave you can go in with some slides and a little river where the extra water drains down.. it is just really fun! Ian loved it! It was nice for all of us to at least get our feet wet! Thanks again Kristin for getting all wet with Ian!


We liked this arangatan... it was keeping cool under a huge palm tree leaf!




Miranda is learning all sorts of new tricks... she is so cute!
The Phoenix Zoo was a blast... although I think I like the Hoagle Zoo better!
