Arizona Spring Break 2014

Arizona Spring Break 2014

 One of the best things about coming to Arizona is being able to go visit with my Gr Delwyn and Gr Barbara (my mom's parents).  

My Grandpa owns some race horses and has a winter home next to Turf paradise race track.  We get to go cheer on Grandpa's horses when they are up for a race there and everyone loves it!  These two are the best!  Grandpa takes his great grandkids for fun rides on his golf cart and lets them take the wheel at times!  Grandma Barbara is always a great host and is easy to talk to and is interested in what's going on in life's daily happenings.

 Grandpa Delwyn is some tough competition when it comes to card games!

 We were able to go visit the Arizona Sonora Desert Zoo with my parents and Grandparents,  There is so much beauty you can find even is the hot deserts!  

 Everyone was treated to ice creams of course by Gr Ron (my dad) and Gr Delwyn (my mom's dad)

 There were a ton of exhibits and learning stations at the zoo.  This one is deep in an underground cave all about rocks and minerals and meteorites.

My Gr Barbara loves humming birds and she always has had a hummingbird feeder at her place in Idaho, their ranch in Soda Springs, and here in Arizona.  This hummingbird exhibit was spectacular!  It was a big enclosed area that was home to a ton of hummingbirds who were flying around, right next to us.  This exhibit also had feeders for the birds and it was so neat to see them up close and admire all their beautiful colors when they came in for a drink.  We even saw cute teeny tiny baby hummingbirds in their super small nests.  My boys had a great time watching these amazing birds.

This bobcat was so funny.  He came right up to the glass where Hayden was sitting at and started mimicking all of Hayden's moves.  Moving their heads back and forth up and down together and the cat even took a perfect selfie with Hayden!!
