The Phoenix Zoo is open this summer on Friday evenings from 6pm till 9pm. The kids and I went this last Friday and had so much fun. It was dusk when we got there and we went and saw the animals that were on display. The birds were especially cool because you got to hear their going to bed calls.
Sara saw her first zoo animal, the giraffe! Follow the line of her eye and you can see she was looking up very far.
Nikolai and MaryKate got the opportunity to ride a camel! It was dark by then so this is the best picture I got of them.
MaryKate, "I just rode a camel!" dance
They also had several large water slides and the kids spent the last hour we were there riding down them and the 40 foot water slide. They were freezing when we drove out about 8:45 but it was a blast!

Wonderful pictures! Sara's gaze of wonder at her first giraffe reminds me of you, Heidi, when you were tiny. You and animals have always had a special bond! Love, Mom.
