Phoenix Zoo

My mother-in-law wanted to do something with the grand kids during spring break so we all went to the Phoenix Zoo on 18th. Amelia and I waited on the bridge for everyone. While waiting, we watched people feed bread to the ducks and turtles.

Amelia saw the turtles in the water and said, "Toor-tul," which is how she says 'turtle'.

Amelia with cousin Rowdy (he just broke his leg a few days earlier)

Amelia styling with her hat and glasses

Amelia got a rocking elephant for Christmas two years ago and we named her Ellie since she is an elephant. When we got to the elephants at the zoo, she said "Ellie" because she knew they were elephants.

Large tortoises, who can live to be over 100 years old.

Amelia looking for the rhinoceros iguana.

Macaw

Andreas bear. Amelia is good at saying 'bear'.

Javelinas

Londann, Cayden, and Roxie riding on the camel. The age minimum is two so Amelia wasn't allowed to ride just yet.

Flamingos

Zebra or "be-be" in Amelia talk.
