Day After Thanksgiving at the Phoenix Zoo

  The day after Thanksgiving we went to the Phoenix Zoo.  On the way there my dad was complaining that he didn't have any sunglasses, so we stopped at a CVS to get him a cheap pair, then met everyone else at In-N-Out for lunch.  Here's a fun picture from lunch -

 The zoo was pretty fun.  We saw lots of neat animals like an elephant, rhinoceros, monkeys, lions, tigers, and horses.  There was a petting zoo also and the kids like to pet the goats.  Here are a bunch of pictures -

Loaded the boys in the double stroller.
Whitney would scratch my beard and head with her tiny fingers and it felt way good!
Me... Just kidding, that's an elephant.
The girls liked to coast on the downward slopes.
Grayson and Carter tag team petting that goat.
Whitney loves animals.
Scarlett was tired of petting the goats and wanted to try and knock one out with that weight.  Just kidding, I don't know what she was doing with that.
Sierra loves animals too, and she's good at posing for pictures.  She's cute.
Me petting a goat.  I wanted to name him Billy-Goat or Mr. Goat T.
Caitlin looking good with the parrot.
Carter and Grayson climbing to get a better view.
Maybe horses aren't scary...
Nope, they are definitely scary!
Whitney and Sierra love horses though.

This was the kind of monkey he was pointing at.

Me... Just kidding, that's a rhinoceros.
This is one of my favorite photos from the zoo.  What a great action shot!
  Afterwards, we went to eat at Joe's BBQ.  It was pretty good and a good way to end the day's activities.  Here's some pictures -

  1. Such a fun, tiring day. I'm always so worn out after walking the Phoenix Zoo. Ha That action shot of your Dad spinning Carter brought back my anxiety when he was actually doing it. I didn't like it. Fun times minus the spinning. Can't believe this was already 5 months ago!

  2. So fun! Sorry we missed the day. Zoos are always a good/exhausting time. Love the pictures and all those people!
