The Zoo

Well it sure has been a long time since I updated everyone on how were are doing. We have been busy since moving down here to the warm weather of Queen Creek. I am totally loving it! I am not sure how I am going to be this summer, but right now the idea of it being chilly at 65 degrees is wonderful!
We went to the zoo on St. Patricks Day. The Phoenix Zoo is so amazing! I had such a great time. I had all of the kids and we met AnnMarie and her kids, my dad, Andrea and her kids, and Amy and her kids. 17 total people, not really that fun to get us all moving in the same direction, but fun to spend time with each other! I did not manage to take any pictures of the animals, Josh and Jared were camera shy and refused any pictures they knew about to be taken, so I really do not try and have all the pictures just be of Cayden and Kayla but it usually turns out that way. There was a splash pad that we took the kids to, the boys loved it but Kayla was not really happy to get splashed. She just sat with Natalie and played around.
Kayla wanted something to chew on so I gave her a carrot to chew on. Her tiny teeth managed to bit off one or two slivers of carrot and she did not choke. She had fun sliming the carrot and I felt good about her not choking on anything. Happy mom and happy baby!

We also took the kids to a playground that they have at the zoo, they have farm equipmet that the kids can play on and "drive". Cayden and Jared had fun pretending, Josh was hangin out with Bailey and they tried not to appear too bored.

Overall, it was fun, the weather was warm, and were had a good time. I am looking forward to going back soon to see more of the animals.
