Arizona Zoo 2010

I LOVE the Zoo!! No matter how old I get I will never get tired of it! I am a little late getting the zoo post out but I didn't want to forget it, because it so too fun. At this zoo they have 2 times during the day where you can go and feed tropical birds. Everyone loves this. I mean really who doesn't crack a huge smile when a bird lands on your arm, or in my dad's case his head, and you are just fascinated with them. And a little cautious about being pooped on.

Hayden and his fun Aunt Sophie checking out the flamingos. Clay looked at them and said "What"s up with their legs?" ;) Of course the zoo has beautiful, amazing, and unique animals everywhere you turn but this peacock parading around the entire zoo was so cool. I wonder since he is not caged how they keep him the right areas? He must know its a good zoo and will stick around.

Justin had alot of fun too and like the petting zoo alot. There is no fear there, probably because it hasn't sunk in that these are live animals and not stuffed ones.

This year the zoo had a new aquarium exhibits with lots of weird under the sea creatures. Just outside the different aquariums, they had a new log ride you could take for an outrageous price of $6 per person, but having a great dad and grandpa around to make sure everyone experiences not only the zoo but a fun ride as well, we got on to be splash. Clayton was not for this ride at all. He like to get used to things before plunging on in. Not Hayden, he was all for it. This is not some kiddie ride either, it caught my breath a little on the way down the big drop and Hayden loved every minute of it. Saying "Again, that was so fun!"Hayden sat here and stared at the ride going up and down around and back again. Commentating the whole thing to himself. "Around the corner....then up up up the tower......down it goes SPLASH he he he he he .... that's cool" He is such a character.

Clay got to have his own fun with Grandpa Ron going and the Sky Ride over looking the whole zoo in the air.

Thanks so much Mom and Dad for such a great time. We all loved it!!
