A little late! The Phoenix Zoo!

So I am a little behind this one is a long one SORRY!! A few weeks ago we took the boys to Mesa and ended up at the Phoenix Zoo. It was Hot and miserable! It was horrible! Chloe and Becki came along for the ride and that baby was such a trooper!
Nothing spectacular just a few pictures!
There a a couple spider monkeys in this tree!
These Arangatanges were my favorite! For some reason when I was growing up I always wanted a monkey!
Don't you just want to hold it! This baby monkey was funny to watch. They are so much like little kids. This one was getting into and eating all sorts of crazy things!
It was so hot that we just let the kids get into the water shooting out of the ground! No they didn't have swim suits BUT it didn't matter they were so hot!

They played in the water for over 30 minutes. We ended up taking off there shirts and the little ones shorts and they were almost completely dry when they finished!
Then we took them on the train ride around the rest of the Zoo!
We bought Soda's I think over all it cost us around $20! It was absolutely worth it!
My wet sweaty boys!
Covin has some issues with Snakes. He was a little scared even though it was behind glass, he kept making sure it stayed there!

When we got home being the nice dad Shaffen is he let them play with playdoh! Umm not something I enjoy because it ends up everywhere! And these are the SNAKES they made!

Me and my crazy boys!
On Saturday we drove to Tucson to see our nephew Jaeden! Josh (Shaffen's brother) has been oversees for a few months and the boys wanted to see him!
We took them to lunch and to ride go carts. Covin was so excited that he was big enough! They got to play games also. They were funny to watch!

Conner wanted to play basketball, he was a little short so Shaffen improvised!
Conner looks so big....He was actually driving Jaeden crazy! Conner just wants to be big like the boys!
Then we went to the Mall and got them Ice cream! Conner's favorite!

We stayed at Jaeden's house for a little while and let the boys play. Covin played the wii and PlayStation. I also played against Jaeden on Guitar Hero. I must say I totally impressed myself! That was my 2nd time, I am horrible at it! Jaeden gave me a few pointers and I kept up with him for a little while! I went from I think only hitting 12% of the notes to now a whopping 58%! That is a huge improvement! And I had fun!
We had fun hanging out! Thanks Heather for letting us take him for a while! We all had fun!
Before we left town we went by and saw Grandma Bonnie and Ampa Clint!
