Day 68 - The Phoenix Zoo

We had a wonderful day at the zoo. The weather was perfect; it wasn't over-crowded & there was a lot to see! The kids enjoyed their first taste of snowcones (I think slurpees win) and a huge highlight for Megan was feeding a giraffe named Sam. Joshua was really excited to see the cougars as they weren't at the Calgary Zoo when we were there and Sarah's favorite was the Cheetah. It was neat to see the desert animals in their natural habitat and we were particularly amazed at the size of the tortoises.
We took so many photos and it was hard to select which ones to blog - so here's a slideshow of a few of our favorites:

These prairie dogs were adorable. They were hugging & loving on each other until they finally raced down one of their digging tunnels together ♡
Megan had the special opportunity to get up-close & personal with a giraffe at the zoo. The zoo keeper gave her all kinds of information about the giraffe she was feeding too. I think this was a real highlight for Megan :)
Joshua took some time to see how it would feel to BE a tree ☺
