Our family enjoyed a wonderful opportunity to go to the Phoenix Zoo together! Mike and Corissa had visitor passes for all of us with their zoo membership, and the predicted rain for Nov. 12th held off, so we were able to celebrate our November birthdays with a picnic lunch near the giraffe exhibit at the Zoo. It had been years since Vince and I were at the zoo, so there were many new additions, including the new koi pond near the entrance. It was beautiful! Plus, we enjoyed the new orangutan and komodo dragon exhibits.
We especially liked observing Cailyn "in action" as she watched the animals and helped lead the way. Landon was a good sport and was content in the stroller most of the time.
Alan's birthday is Nov. 8, Mike's is the 12th, and mine is the 16th! Every year, we usually share a celebration together...
After our picnic lunch, we wandered over to see the sleepy lions and the baboons. I don't think this guy really wanted his photo taken!!
In this photo, it looks like Landon's sunglasses are a bit troublesome for him...he is so good natured about the doc-band, but hasn't quite become accustomed to the sunglasses yet!
We had a wonderful time together and we appreciate so much the opportunity to go to the zoo as a family! Thankyou Mike & Corissa!!
Landon fell asleep towards the end of our visit, and Cailyn said a special goodbye to one of her zoo friends, "until we meet again"!

So much fun! That baboon was hilarious! Good times!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to have such a nice zoo so close! I hope you get to go more often now that the kiddo's are the right age!
