The Zoo and a Suprise!

This past Saturday Shawn and I went to the Phoenix Zoo. I had never been and Shawn's sister gave us some tickets, so we decided to go on Saturday. It was really fun. It was so nice to get out and walk around and enjoy the weather. It got hot in the afternoon but the morning was really nice. Keely really didn't show any emotion towards the animals, except the turkeys by the petting zoo. Probably because we could get right up close to the cage. The petting zoo wasn't open for some reason. I think they were doing som renovations, but I was curious to see how Keely would react to the goats and sheep. Saturday was also her 11th month birthday, she will be one year in a month. Here are some pictures of our day.

This is Keely with the turkeys.


I don't know if you can see the giraffes in this picture, but that's where we were.

Keely with her sippy cup. She is still learning how to use it.

On another note, that same day, my mom came down to bring my Grandma down for Thanksgiving and also to pick up some groceries. She came by to see Keely about 3:00 and then left to get her grocery's. She called me about 10:00 at night and said "I forgot to give you something, so I will be by in about 5 minutes" And I was wondering why she was still out and about when she should be in bed and relaxing from her busy day. Well when I open the door for her out popped my sister Ginger!! She has been in Conneticuit for 8 months and wasn't going to return until next month just before Christmas, but she got to come home early! It was the biggest suprise I have ever had. I was so confused when I saw her. My mom and her had been planning to suprise everyone since September. Not even my dad knew she was coming home for good. They are so funny. But it is so good to have my sister back home and safe. I have missed her so much. Welcome home Giner!! :)

The zoo is so fun! I can't wait for Jaxon to actually understand things so we can take him! That will be a fun outing us moms should do during the afternoon when all of our kids are a little older! And that is so exciting your sister is home. So is she done over there for good or is she just here for the holidays?! THat is awesome! (Oh and sorry I tagged you, I didn't want to do that to you but didn't have many people to choose from who hadn't already been tagged and I know yours will be interesting to read! Sorry again!)
