We did so many fun things while we were in AZ. We went to the Phoenix Zoo, which was a really nice zoo. They had a lot of different animals (although many were hiding b/c it was pretty hot), a petting zoo, a children's section, a carousel and a splash pad. Evan was in heaven!! The next day we went to the coolest park that had 2 trains you could ride on, a carousel and 2 playgrounds. It was also a model train festival, so there were model trains everywhere. If only Maxwell could have been there too (he's IN LOVE with trains). I know that the grandkids will get much use out of that park for years to come. Finally, there is a park down the street from my parents that is next to (attached to) a fire station. We got to meet some of the fireman, they pulled out the truck for us, turned on the lights, let Evan sit up front (but he chose not to) and gave him the cool firehat you see in the pictures. What a great idea! Scottsdale has amazing parks, do you think Orange County would like for me to pass along these recommendations??
Although the zoo day was rather warm, the rest of the time it kind of felt like fall, it was 52 in the mornings. I was so excited to wear pants and a sweatshirt. It was a great change from the never ending Florida summer. I had a wonderful time spending quality time with my parents and I know that they loved their time with Evan.
Thanks to Aditi for the slideshow idea, I love it!
