Arizona--Day Two

On Sunday, we decided to all head out to the Phoenix Zoo. It was pretty interesting, but it made me appreciate the Fort Worth Zoo. We have it pretty good here!
Here are a few pictures from our day:

First, we saw the giraffes. It was so cool. You could get so close to them. Noah and Lance went up to the lookout to get a closer look.

Then we saw the tigers and lions. This picture has been posted after listening to Lance beg me. I would rather not post a peeing tiger, but I try to keep my husband happy!

Elise and Ayden enjoying some kettle corn!

These turtles were in the same area as some antelope and birds. Noah was fascinated by them!

Enjoying a hot dog and making sure the peacocks strutting around didn't steal it!

This picture is completely overexposed

and tecnically horrible, but I think it makes me look skinny so I had to post it. I'm shameless, I know ;)

Noah's first road trip

I know it has been a while since I've updated so I'm going to try to do better with our Spring Break pictures. I've asked Shipley to stay on top of me about posting these, so maybe I'll actually get it done this time :)



Last Friday night, we set out on Noah's very first road trip. We left around 6:00 pm for Arizona thinking that Noah would sleep all night. Ha ha, we couldn't have been more wrong! He did really well for the first 6 hours or so, but then he had all he could take of the car. Unfortunately, there were still 12 more hours to go! We finally made it to Laura's house (Lance's sister) around 11:00 Saturday morning.

Starting out on our trip:

Watching endless episodes of Blue's Clues. I think I can quote all 8 episodes on this DVD now. It is the only one he wanted to watch!

Coloring :)

Laura did not tell her kids that Lance, Noah and I were coming. They thought that it was just going to be MawMaw and PawPaw. When they came out to "help unload the car," they were shocked to see us sitting in the car. Elise grabbed Noah and hugged him tight!

Noah and Ayden playing "back-e-ball"

Laura took Noah out to see their horse Diamond. He was fascinated, but this was about as close as he would get that day.

Then, Noah discovered the quads in the garage. By the end of the week, these were referred to as "my cars."

Aunt Laura took Noah out for a (slow) ride!

There's the jist of day one in Arizona. I'll add more as I have time. Right now I'm exhausted and would like to nap. The ride home today was 1000 times worse than the ride there. I'm not sure any of us slept last night!
