Zoo Day

We finally took June to the Phoenix zoo for her first time. I haven't been since high school, so this felt new to me too. Except the smell, I remember the smell vividly.

Some highlights:
• We went with the Reids, who were good sports through June's snack breaks, animal observations, and eventual tantrum on the carousel. Plus, Cora makes the best "funny face".
• June's animal sounds throughout the entire time. (Monkeys: "AAH-oo-oo", Lions: "Neyum Neyum" which is June's cat sounds)
• The monkey cage, which is both amazing and terrifying. (Amazing because of how close the monkeys jump around you, and terrifying because I was thinking of the movie "Outbreak" the entire time we were inside.)

We'll see you again, Phoenix Zoo. That splash pad will be calling our name this summer.

Oo-da-lolley golly what a day...

William's family came to town last week, so we spent the day at the fair. 

We rode the Ferris Wheel and ate plenty of fried foods.

While June seemed hypnotized by the color, lights, food, and noise, I was hypnotized by the inhabitants there. The fair makes for some fine people-watching.

Stop and Stare

Our view on the bridge. The fog moved so quickly... it was magical.

I need to stop posting these pictures from San Francisco. It makes me angry at AZ for having weather like this and no Bi Rite Ice Cream.

But onward and upward...

This weekend we're grilling burgers, watching movies, and playing in Grandma's backyard. I'm also painting my nails, raiding my mom's cookbooks for easy recipe ideas, and finding ideas for June's Halloween costume... yes, it's that time again.
