Last night's Superbowl wasn't exactly a nail-biter. The Seahawks embarrassed the Broncos 43 - 8 much to Mikel's chagrin, but we had a great time hanging out with the Stewart family anyway!
Poor pup Prince is a food thief, so he was relegated to the backyard.
The Stewarts have a great home for entertaining.

Kelly -- my gym buddy!
Touchdown! (aka "so big"...)
Thank you for having us, Stewart fam!! We always look forward to spending time with you.

This morning, Nolan and I joined a couple friends at the Phoenix zoo. I met these ladies through the website MeetUp.com, and it's been great seeing different parts of the city with them and getting to know their families!
Sarah and her kiddos met us there first thing this morning

In the cooler temps, all 5 of the giraffes were out and visible -- a rarity!
Today's zoo theme was "No Animal Will Look at Us".
Okay, this gal did.
I like these African Spotted Dogs. Their markings look like calico cats. They're usually super lazy but today they were pacing and even coming down to the river to drink.
We've changed our tune since MN and now kind of live for these overcast days!

Not looking...
... not looking...
-- Oh, hi!
Not looking...
... not looking...
... not looking. :) (Kristina and her gang joined us by then)
You guessed it....
... More not looking.......
Kristina, Makenna and Luke. Expecting her 3rd in June -- busy mama!
Extra happy because I just heard from our realtor that the home sellers accepted our counter offer on the inspection details. Victory!
Are you looking??
Time for lunch and then head home.
Nolan thought touching this tree and pulling leaves out of the hole was the most fascinating part of the zoo. ha!
I love having an annual pass to the zoo just for days like this. We only saw about 1/2 (if that) of what's there, but we'll catch the rest next time. Thank you, Sarah, Kristina and kiddos for meeting us there. It's always great to see you!


































Thank you for including us in your post! We always enjoy being in your company! Love the photos! :) xo
ReplyDeleteWhen we came to Phoenix on a trip when Lauren was 6 months old we went to the zoo. All the moms that went jokingly referred to it as "the zoo with no animals" because they were all sequestered from the heat.
