The Phoenix Zoo

We got the chance to go to the Phoenix Zoo and the boys seemed to really enjoy it. My camera died so I don't have very many fun pictures but here are a few. Some new animals at the zoo that we noticed were these neat cows called Watusi. Redden and Ryder had just been with Papa and Gabe to go to papa's friends house to see some Watusi. At the zoo the kids revealed to grandma that papa was the proud owner of a watusi cow he was just keeping it at Sterling's house! Sorry dad! Guess you better watch what you say around the kids if you don't want it shared! Grandma thought it was pretty funny and now the watusi cow doesn't have to hide out at Sterling's, it got to come to it's real home! After walking the majority of the zoo in the heat we were pretty ready to go but hadn't done the farm yet with the petting zoo. I asked the kids and of course they voted to go and so we reluctantly headed that way. I was so glad that we did because I think it was their favorite part. They probably wouldv'e brushed the goats for an hour. Ranger was in heaven running free from goat to goat not afraid at all. He is so opposite from my older two boys at this age. I'm a little worried as to what the future will bring from this one! He got a little rough with one goat trying to ride it like a horse and got head butted in the gut. He just cracked up laughing at it thinking it was now a fun game! We had fun and to top it off made our Sonic stop on the way home. Ahhhhhh.. Thanks Grandma, Steph & kiddos for going with us to make it fun.
