ZooLights

ZooLights!

We got a pass to the Zoo this year, and after Thanksgiving they put animal lights up around the zoo! We thought we'd try it out. It turned out to be a lot of fun! There were all sorts of animals. It was cold, so we got some hot chocolate!

 

Daisey got all bundled up and 

ready to go look at the lights!

 The Giraffe lights were Joyce's favorite! The Momma moved down to touch the baby's head. It was sweet!

 This was a true Arizona display!

 Wild Pigs, or Javelina! 

It was fun to see all the things

 they put into lights!

 Daisey loved the peacocks!
All the colors were so bright.

These blue lights were wrapped 

around Saguaro cacti! Joyce thought it 

was pretty cool, and risky!

We always have a good time together as a family, but this was one of our favorites. It's certainly something that we'll be doing again. As we walked around, there was Christmas music playing, and cheer in the air. Nothing better to get us in the Christmas mood.

The Phoenix Zoo

What a Zoo!

So after Thanksgiving we decided to go to the Zoo. We had bought a year pass and were able to get in the cousins for free, so we thought it would be a good thing to get the kids out of the house and out to see something new. They had a blast running from animal to animal and wondering what they were going to see next.

First stop, the turtles and snakes! 

Some of them were hard for the kids to see. Thank heavens for benches!

The littlest checking out the Gophers!

Daisey is always concerned with where we're headed. So naturally, she had to check out the map with Daddy!

We didn't get to see the whole zoo, it's a big one! But we had a great time and got to see some tiny monkeys up close inside the enclosure. Best of all we spent time together with our family and Daisey got to make memories with her cousins. Family is such an important part of our journey here on earth. We're glad to have been together! Until next time at the Zoo!

Love Always,

Doug and Joyce
