Arizona Trip 09

We went down to Arizona to visit Nathan's side of the family, and wanted to go for two reasons: a) to see Nathan's brother Robert and our sister in law Kortney's new baby, and b) to visit before we had a baby. Though it takes awhile to get there, we sure had lots of fun, and it is always nice to talk in the car. The first night we had dinner with everyone, and the new baby Ryan sure is a cutie. Our niece Kaylee is one of the cutest, and so well behaved, it definitely a reflection on Robert and Kortney. Tuesday they had to leave to go to Franklin of all places to see one of Kortney's grandparents who is not doing well and it might be the last time they could see her. We did go the Phoenix Zoo that morning though, which we loved. We learned two things that morning: 1) 2 1/2 year olds are LOTS of fun at zoos because they are interested in everything, and 2) go to zoos EARLY in the morning because the animals are actually AWAKE!!

The lions, and check out how BIG the male is!!

Kendra at the monkey enclosure that you can walk through. Pretty neat, and look how close you can get to the monkeys!

We had a great time visiting family in AZ, and also got to go to the temple, play racket ball, play games, and enjoy each other's company. Love you guys and thanks again!
