Lions, Tigers, and Monkeys......oh my!

We decided that we would go to the Phoenix Zoo to celebrate the kids birthdays (mostly Alyssandra's birthday since it was the closest) It was AWESOME! We got there early and saw Lions, Rhinos, and Tigers. Then we helped the kids feed the Giraffes. That was so much fun! The kids faces are priceless! Then we headed off to visit the Monkeys and there was one little guy who came right up to the glass. It was just us and him for like 15 minutes! We ALL loved that! Then Corbin and Grace got to ride a camel with their Daddys. We played and saw every animal there. Alyssandra took a couple naps....but everyone had a blast! The petting zoo was fun. Corbin took it as his mission to make sure every single goat in that place got a good brushing. That was a lot of fun to watch him run around. Alyssandra didn't care that much, she just wanted her water bottle. Right before we left we headed to the Merry-G0-Round. I'm not even kidding you....we rode that thing at least 8 times in a row. I'm serious. Everytime it ended Corbin and Grace would say "Again!" So we did. Corbin only rode the Shark Bite (shark) He loves sharks. Me and Mindy even rode...and it was fun. Alyssandra woke up in time to take a ride on a dolphin too! After the Zoo we went to Bucca de Beppo and it was sooooooo good. (Even though Alyssandra threw everything we gave her on the floor) Corbin was pooped and slept on the table (I'll have to get a picture to post of that because it's so funny!) It was an AMAZING day!
