The Phoenix Zoo

Yesterday the kids and I went to the Phoenix Zoo with my sister, Jeni, and her kids! It was really crowded because if Spring Break! But, luckily we got in for free, and walked right up to the gate, with Jeni's mother-in-law's Zoo membership! My guess is the people who were waiting to buy tickets were probably waiting close to 30 minutes! We were there for about 4 hours! It was a long day with 6 kids...but they did pretty good! My legs hurt from pushing the double stroller up all the hills and I put sunscreen on the kids, but not myself! So I got pretty sunburned! Emma and Derrick had a fun time though! I don't know that we will go back any time soon, especially if I have to pay! :) There just wasn't that much to see! I haven't been in years and I didn't really remember what they had there! The new Stingray exhibit was pretty neat! And the kids liked the Giraffes and the Rhinoceros the best! At the gift shop Emma picked out a giraffe and Derrick picked out a leopard print car! :) It was a fun day, but definitely one of those "every-once-in-awhile" trips!
