Today, I decided that instead of showering and jumping into my 3rd set of PJ's, I would get myself showered and take the kids out of the house. They've been ever so patient with me being lazy around the house this week, I rewarded them with a trip to the city library. When we arrived, the designated event hadn't started (some dog show) so we looked around and found the area for the city culture passes. As luck should have it, there was a pass for the Phoenix Zoo that allowed for 2 free admission. Layla was so excited, she jumped at the chance to check them out and take her mom and brother to the zoo. There were huge clouds covering the sky and it seemed like a great idea to venture off to the zoo. Although, it was HOT and HUMID, we had a joyful day! :)

 |
| Zack: Look Mom! A beautiful leaf! |
 |
| Layla: Look I can drive! |
 |
| Some much needed water relief, after 45 minutes of walking |
 |
| Layla: Eww, I'm digging in the Komodo dragon's nose! |
 |
| I didn't notice until he was running around, that his swimming trunks were on backwards. |
 |
| R-E-L-I-E-F! |
 |
| Having a great time in the water |
