Trip to The Zoo

So hot had to have snow cones, needless to say they all were covered in

blue before the day was over

This Monkey was so funny, just sat there with his chin on the ledge looking at the kids,

like he was dreaming of having a bite of their snowcones

The week of October 13 thru the 17 was our fall break. This week we were so busy and poor, so we couldn't really do anything with our kids that would cost very much money. We decided to take them to the Phx Zoo, we thought the kids would really enjoy it. The night before we were to leave was when Crue broke his arm, so we weren't going to go. The Dr and instructed us to keep it elevated for 48 hours and keep ice on it as much as possible. This would be hard if we went to the zoo. Well our kids were devastated that we weren't going. Bryn and Kash cried all night. We talked to Crue, he wanted to try to go anyway. So we loaded up Crue, Bryn, Kash and Chaz and headed down to Phx friday morning. We had Crue keep his arm up and ice on it all the way.

We had a great time!! It was a little hot for mid october, 99 degrees when we got there, luckily there was a lot of shade. We spent the whole afternoon there, then took the kids to Chili's for dinner. It was a good memory maker for all of us. Crue was a real trooper and never complained. Just a little painful that night, but not too bad!! The zoo was way better than I ever imagined. Who knew Arizona could have a great zoo!!
