Wildlife World Zoo

This last weekend Scott's Dad and Step-mom came to visit. The kids had so much fun with their grandparents here spoiling them! We had decided to go to the zoo on Saturday...little did we know it would be rainy and cold. We aren't used to anything but hot and sunny here in AZ. Despite the weather we still had a great time at the zoo and enjoyed less crowds :)



Camryn was a little nervous to have her picture taken with the tiger and decided she had better keep and eye on him the whole time. Heehee She is so funny.

Owen on the other hand was fearless. He liked to try and touch anything with sharp teeth. We were grateful for the sturdy glass tanks the alligators were kept in or our little O would be short a few limbs for sure!

They also had an awesome aquarium. Cam LOVED all the colorful fish!

Owen didn't appreciate the view the zebra was giving him and found daddy holding the camera far more fascinating :)
The highlight of the trip was most definitely petting the sting rays! Owen was belly laughing the whole time. It was like his bath tub toys had come to life and were playing with him!

Camryn was very brave and loved the sting rays too...as long as daddy was close by.


All tuckered out :)
This was so fun to see the kids experience all these new things. I love the ages they are at right now, and realized that they are at just at the right ages for these fun family trips... maybe a children's museum next? We'll keep you posted!

Looks like a great day! LOVE the picture of big O petting the rays! That smile is just one of the best things on the planet! I could almost hear his laughter & feel his joy! What litttle sweethearts they both are!

What a very fun day. I don't know if Cyrena would be brave enough for the sting rays, but I bet Natalie would jump right in. :)

Fun day! Looks chilly though. We live to close to the zoo, but yet we have never gone.

That picture of scott holding Owen laughing so hard is so funny. It is cute that Scott looks like he is laughing just as hard! (and no scott, I'm not saying YOUR cute and I am NOT hitting on you) :)
