Spring Break Part 2!

So, I know I'm slow getting this done, but here's a rundown on the rest of our FUN vacation! We spent a lovely week in sunny AZ and had a great time! Here's cutie Kelton sitting with Papa! It took him a little while to warm up to Papa, but once Papa rescued Kelton from his "evil carseat", they were best buds!

We first went to the park one evening for a picnic with a new friend. She is a middle aged lady with Turner Syndrome who has NEVER met anyone else with TS! So, we took Kallie to meet her and we all had a wonderful time getting to know one another! Here's a great pic with Tamara and Kallie!

We also spent some time @ Peter Piper Pizza having lunch with friends and playing games. Abbie hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 622 tickets! She was so excited and was able to get many great prizes with all her tickets! Another day, we went to the funnest pool in Chandler, AZ! It was like a mini water park and only cost $8 total for all of us to get in! It had a water playground, big slides, little slides, splash pads, a whirlpool, and a lazy river with tubes to float on! We had a BLAST there!

We shopped at the mall with a friend and played at Grandma and Papa's house! We even got to fly kites with Papa! And the day before we headed home, we went to the Phoenix Zoo!! My girls LOVE zoos! The first stop was Stingray Bay! We get to pet the stingrays as they swim by. I think Abbie could have stayed there all day, but Kallie wanted to move on! Some of you may remember Kallie's very traumatic fishing experience found HERE, and it seems that she's never quite gotten past it! If you haven't checked it out it's VERY entertaining! Anyway, here's a great pic of the troops at Stingray Bay!

After that, we moved on to the rest of the zoo, but made the unfortunate mistake of giving Kallie a zoo map! She was so obsessed with finding the camels that it took us twice as long to go anywhere because she had to stop to consult her map! She's just a little OCD(like her Mama) so we have to be very patient sometimes! HAHA!

After we stopped for lunch and to play at the Zoo Farm playground Kelton got a little tired of the stroller so I put him in the baby wrap and he was much happier!

This zoo also has lots of fun things, perfect for photo opportunities so we stopped for a few! Here are my little pearls in their oyster shell!

Next up was the zoo splash park where the girls cooled off and had tons of fun! Didn't get any pics though, they were too fast!
FINALLY, we made it to the camels and Grandma was true to form in spoiling the girls with a ride on Dale the Camel. I think they were nervous at first but it was the highlight of their day!!

Lastly, we rode the zoo train out to see all the African Safari animals. It's a long hike and it was a HOT day! Here's my 2 tired girls on the zoo train!

By the time the train pulled back into the station Kallie had fallen asleep and we were all ready to go home!

But, we had to have one more quick ride on the carousel!

The next day, we began the LOOOOOOONG journey home. We stayed overnight at Circus Circus Hotel in Las Vegas and spent about half a day playing there before heading to Salt Lake for another quick sleepover with cousins. And Sunday, April 3rd, we finally made it home to Dadddy! We missed him tons and though we had a fabulous vacation we were all glad to be home! Next update will be Kallie's Birthday, which was the very next day, so until next time.....
