It's that time of year . . .

The entrance to the Zoo. We have to stop and see the turtles, ducks
and fish.

The elephants! Next to the giraffes, this is Maddy's favorite spot. She got to leave treats for the elephants and go in the pen last March.

Wait, this is another favorite spot. We forgot the bathing suits today though.

A new pond at the start of the zoo.

Taking a turn on the grand carousel.

Mommy and Peyton in front of the savannah.
Peyton taking a break. Notice the teeth and the Keppel trademark gap!


We have our own fall tradition here in AZ. It's not raking leaves or drinking hot cider, it's going to the zoo!





Today was one of the first days where it was not 100 by 12pm so we headed for the zoo. We love it so much we are members, go to Zoo Brew and Zoo Lights, and had Maddy's 1st birthday there and will have Peyton's, too.





It's so hot here, that even in the summer, the zoo changes its hours and closes at 1pm during the week.
