Grandma Judy visits Arizona

Grandma Judy came to visit in March and here are a few of our adventures while she was here.


In our last neighborhood we would always see the hot air balloons from the back yard. On this day they were rising right out of our neighborhood park. They were so close you could hear them. Grandma Judy and the girls thought this was so much fun.


They were coming up right over the roof tops.





Grandma Judy had the Spring Fairy come while she was here to do a "spring hunt" since she wouldn't be here for Easter. The girls had a great time. Although Peyton was very skeptical about the Spring Fairy being real. She enjoyed finding the goodies, but was sure Grandma Judy had made it all up.



Hunting for treasures.




It was fun finding chalk, pet shops, bubbles, lizards and lots of other goodies. The Spring Fairy left more than the Easter bunny!!! :-)





Our trip to the zoo and aquarium. Peyton and Sydnie were waiting for the boat to pick us up and take us for a ride.





Our ride on the train.






It was very hot as you can see from Peyton's flushed cheeks. Both the girls had to bring their bunny ears along that the Spring Fairy had left that morning. It made them very easy to keep track of.








Oh, she is my daughter! Grandma Judy wanted a cute picture, but Sydnie had something else in mind.







A trip to the zoo wouldn't be complete without a ride on the merry go round!!! Peyton chose to ride a dinosaur.










Sydnie went for the classic horse.








This was the coolest part of the zoo. Peyton could have stayed here for days feeding the giraffes. They have the longest tongues ever! YUCK!!!!











This was one of the babies. He was just tall enough to grab the pellets that had landed on the fence.









Look at that tongue!
