Lions and Tigers and Bears...

Benson and I decided to take advantage of the great weather and take our kids to the zoo this morning... We had a great time! I have taken the kids to the zoo a bunch of times but this is the first time Benson has come along with us. Ben's favorite is the tigers and lions and he stands there forever trying to get them to roar...he says "scare me tiger..roar..just scare me!" One time the lion did roar (not today) and it was SOOO loud. If you look closely in this picture you can see the tiger is in the tree (kind of center). The kids loved watching the tiger climb! This is the amazing sting ray and shark exhibit...can I just say that I think the Phoenix Zoo is awesome! Come on...STING RAYS!

I love that Sammy and Ben are such good friends...this was them at the sting ray exhibit.
Oh, another good thing about the zoo is KETTLE CORN...here is a picture of Nathan enjoying it!



Sammy and Ben LOVE to go to the petting zoo. I guess they are redoing it and it has been closed but we were (un)LUCKY that it was open today.

Another favorite exhibit is the wallaby's...I am telling you I love the Phoenix Zoo.

Am I the only one that can't stop thinking about "Diego" while I am at the zoo?? I kept saying to the kids "Scarlet McCaw (or whatever other Diego espisode)..say it with me...Scarlet McCaw..say it louder..Scarlet McCaw..everybody SCREAM!" I think I have seen WAY too many Go,Diego, Go episodes! :)

The Phoenix Zoo is the best of the many zoos that we have been too!

I usually yell out Dora phrases at the zoo like, "Where are we going?" - clap, clap, clap - "To the monkeys!" We "might" need therapy! :)

That's funny...I remember seeing the Scarlett McCaw last time I was at the zoo. I was proud of myself for knowing so many things about that bird (from Diego, of course).
