Starry Safari

Bryan had yesterday off, but I had a table at an open house event to attend in the morning for my L.E.A.N. classes and by the time I got home the kids were napping. When they woke up we decided to have dinner and head out to the Phoenix Zoo to surprise the kids. They have an evening event (to beat the heat) Friday and Saturday nights from 6-9pm with bounce houses (my kids' favorite), inflatable wet water slides, a splash pad and some of the animal exhibits were open. We missed most of the animals due to poor timing, but we saw the elephants (twice) which were a huge hit and learned something new...elephants are good swimmers! That impressed Keira.

Here are a few photos of our impromptu Appleton Adventure to the Phoenix Zoo. Enjoy!

Mommy & Keira with Sheena & Indu, the elephants. It was still 103 degrees at 7pm and her little 30lb body gets heavy after awhile :o)

Daddy & Isaac take a turn in front of the elephants.

Isaac was almost asleep in the stroller when we got to the splash pad and once he saw it, he had to get in. So he tossed his blankie and paci to the side and I changed his clothes. Keira was making sure Isaac wouldn't get run over by the crazy older kids. She is such a good big sister!

Going for a ride on the Endangered Species Carousel. Keira wanted to be on an elephant so Isaac didn't get a choice...I don't think he cared, he just likes getting to ride.

Ready to go home...

What a fun day! As soon as we walked out the gate, Keira was asking if we could go back to the Zoo!
