Saturday we took a road trip for the day and drove down to Tucson. We went with Brett's brother Aaron and his family. We went to the Reid Park Zoo. The kids loved it because all the animals were up close and easy for them to see. We had a great time!
These rhino had a huge horns! 
My favorite was the giraffe's, there were 3 of them and they were really close so we got a good look at them.
The elephants were fun to watch too. We saw them taking water in their trunks and then spraying it into their mouth. 
The funniest animals were the zebra. There were 3 of them and all of the sudden the male zebra comes running from the other side of the cage and chases the female and jumps on her back, giving us a lesson on the birds and the bees right before our eyes - although they kids didn't even understand. But hey it's a zoo and that's part of nature. I had a picture of the event but I've changed it out as some might have found it offensive.
We also saw some lions and tigers and bears oh my! The kids like this better than the Phoenix Zoo because they can actually see all the animals up close. After walking around for a couple hours we headed out and drove up to the top of Mount Lemmon.

We went from 65 degrees in the desert at the bottom to the top of the moutain where there is snow and 38 degrees! There were cabins and people playing in the snow. We wanted to eat at the top but everything closed at 5 so we just grabbed a snack at the general store and headed down the mountain. It was a pretty drive! What a fun day! We want to start doing a road trip once a month as a family to get out and see things and spend time with the family. That's what I miss from when we were in Europe last year was getting out every weekend and seeing and doing things together.
