the zoo, again

so, i don't think it's a secret that i love the zoo. i'll go every chance i get. and now that the girls love it too, i have the perfect excuse. this time Daddy got to come along. we had so much fun. Anna loves animals, and Madeline loves what Anna loves. i try to go out to the west side to the Wildlife World Zoo as much as possible. but, the drive tacks on a couple hours to the adventure so, the Phoenix zoo was our destination this time.

we had to see the lions first, they are Anna's favorite, or they were that day. i would show a picture of the lion, but he was sunning himself spread eagle. some may find it a little obscene.

the best part about the Phoenix zoo is they're petting area, at least for my kids. they love to brush all the little goats. i have to do my best to pretend it doesn't totally gross me out.

and here you see the effects, complete loss of consciousness. did i mention i love the zoo?????

a funny side note, before we got in the car i realized it had been a while since Anna went potty, so i made her go in the dirt. she was thrilled. she said, "look dad, i'm going just like a doggie!" too funny!
