Arizona Trip Day 2

This was a pretty busy day for us! We woke up at 5:30 to get ready for the Phoenix Zoo! We had a great time on the Carousel, the Safari train and petting the sting rays! But I think Tahlia's favorite part was running around in the slash pads! Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of her frolicking on these pretty neat splash pads. In one, there was a little stream surrounding a cave. Inside and outside of the cave, there were waterfalls and slides... so much fun to have in the middle of the hot Arizona day!

After the zoo, we took a nap and then got ready for a BBQ Aaron and Cathy were hosting. At the BBQ, we met some of Cathy and Aaron's closest friends including Jody and her beautiful daughter, Emma (16mo). Her and Tahlia were so cute playing together!

Friday was a very good day :)

There were seriously 100 or more turtles swimming on top of the water like this!

This is the lagoon the turtles were swimming in.

Tahlia and her milk dribble lol
