Last Day of Break = Fun at the Zoo

For the last day of Christmas break, we decided to take the kids to the Phoenix Zoo. Now, I know I brought Delaney with me on the Kindergarten field trip last month, but we saw so little of the zoo because were in a group that I'd like to think this is really Delaney's first trip! We only visit once a year, so it's exciting each time.

(No we did not buy a camera, but our new video camera has a photo taking mode too. The quality of the video might be great, but the pictures are no substitute for a good digital camera. I think it will work for right now though!)

When we went for Makenna's fieldtrip, we didn't see her favorite animal, the flamingo. So that was first this time!




Here are our little monkey's (well two of them!)

Camden and Delaney sharing a snack

The kids enjoyed the play area (go figure!)




Camden always enjoys driving the tractor, but this was Laney's first drive.

Then the petting zoo. Delaney thought every animal looked like Eeyore, especially the goats. She wasn't quite gentle with them either. She wanted to run to every goat and "pet" them. We are still working on petting nicely! (The picture is deceiving!)
Makenna and Camden loved brushing the goats...the goats loved it too.
Our usual ride on the saddle. :)
So Laney thought the wallabys, monkeys, goats, and zebras looked like Eeyore, we thought we'd take a real picture of Eeyore! (His real name is Peter though, don't tell Laney)
This alligator was her favorite thing to climb on.
Makenna on the warthog!

Camden on the king of the jungle.
Nice ride.

Great view of the giraffes (always one of my favorites)
Our spiders in their web.
Looking at the prarie dogs.

It was a fun day at the zoo...and a nice end to a break that was just too short!
