Phoenix Zoo & Sweet Tomatoes

We decided to do one last family trip to the Phoenix Zoo and then take the kids out to eat at Sweet Tomatoes (a buffet style place with all you can eat salads, soups, and a few other types of foods and ice cream for dessert.

The zoo trip was really fun. I can't believe how happy and content Brenna is being in her carrier. She loves to look around as we walk and is just so happy! She is definitely a really easy-going baby :) And I loved her little hat. She was pulling some cute faces so we had to snap some pictures, of course.






We stopped by the splash pad so the kids could
play in the water for a while.





Garrett didn't play long in the water because
he discovered this slide and just wanted to
down it over and over and over...





Stopping for a little snack.









She posed and asked for her picture to be taken.




I love the color of these birds!








She went a little crazy with the sprinkles!


Brenna loving life with her little Gerber puff snacks.




Stuffing his face with lots of food.

McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park


Another place we wanted to check out before moving was the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. I didn't really know what to expect of it but had just heard about it a couple different times and thought we should try it out. Rick wasn't able to come with us to this one but I figured it would be good to take a break from packing and get out of the house with the kids. 

The whole place was really neat! The park/play areas were all railroad-themed, there was a little train you could ride for pretty cheap, and there was a whole exhibit of mini trains that was incredible! The kids went around the exhibit and were able to push little buttons and it would make some trains go or other little things happen in the exhibit. 

It was funny to tell them that these are phones
that you can put money in and could call someone.
Kids in this generation are gonna grow up not
realizing how far technology has come, haha!




They wanted to be part of the statue...








Riding the train!

Garrett loved going through the tunnel.

Garrett kept wanting to make funny faces on
the train ride.








Brenna was so content and happy in her little
carrier while we walked around the park :)



More silly faces!
