Zoo Day!!

Feeding the stingrays

Otters

Alaina, Emma and Everett watching the squirrel monkeys scurry overhead!!

The day after Christmas Marisa, Jaelynn and I went to the Phoenix Zoo with my sister in law, Alaina, her two kids (Emma-4 and Everrett-15 mos.)  The weather was beautiful.  The highlight of the day was petting the stingrays.  While we were there it was feeding time and we (Alaina, Marisa and I) were able to feed them!!  Emma and Jaelynn were a bit too scared to try.  We saw the giraffes, zebras, orangatuns, squirrel monkeys, otters, flamingos, elephant, peacocks, goats, warthog, etc.  We had such a fun day!!

Merry Christmas

The Holidays Have Come and Gone

Fun with Friends

We had a fun week visiting with friends who came here for a visit. We enjoyed having dinner with them, playing games and even going swimming (Only in AZ can you swim in November!!) We also went to see the new Madagascar movie which was a lot of fun!! So glad you guys could visit. We miss you tons!! Come back soon!!

HAPPY CAMPERS!!!

At least most of us. Garrett has to be Garrett and "pretend" to be not so happy. But I think he had a good time!!

Zac and Josh were partners in crime. The crime was arson. Everywhere they went they started "their own campfires."
