1. Mikey needs somewhere to roam free outside and I'm tired of the park.
2. Once he turns three I'll have to pay to get him in so now is the time.
3. They just finished adding a huge aquarium.
4. It really is close. Just about the time Mikey is freaking out in his car seat, we're there. 15-20 mins tops.
Because daily admission is twice the cost of the phoenix zoo and the economy is down, sadly and happily enough, its like having my own personal zoo. It was a little busier on Tuesday, but today not so much.
The giraffes were really hungry when we went this morning. If I had three hands I would have fed him, held Mikey and taken a picture at the same time. Gross as it sounds, It was so exciting to be slobbered on by a giraffe. They have pellet dispensers and I used up our quarters feeding this guy.
Mikey and this little girl Emma followed each other around the aquarium. They really liked the penguins.
Mama pauses for a picture, Mikey says, "Lets go see more!"
Kangaroo walkabout
This hornbill followed us around as we looked at the ostriches. I think he was bored. His mate was hanging out with the antelopes.
Anyone is welcome to come with us sometime. Not that it helps that much, but I have $3.00 off coupons. I am planning on wearing out my membership before it gets too hot.

Great idea Rachel. I still love zoos to this day, so I'm sure Mikey will get a lot of enjoyment out of the pass. Plus, it will certainly help him learn the names of animals.
You are seriously the best mom ever! :) What child wouldn't love to spend their days at the zoo! We haven't been there in about a year but need to go soon while the weather is so nice, especially now that the aquarium is open. Fun times!!!
Rach,
That zoo looks awesome. What is the name of it? Where is it at? One of these days were in town it would be fun to go.
How fun! I want to come out and go with you guys sometime soon!
