As I mentioned previously, we went to the phoenix zoo one day to get Dylan a little fresh air. But we had a fantastic time, even though he was not feeling top notch.
When I was a little girl, my grandparents took me to this zoo frequently. Once, we spent a whole summer visiting them and we were regulars at the zoo. In the summer, we would always go incredibly early before it got too hot. But since it was January, it was lovely all day.
Ryan helped us navigate.
We thought we'd do something a little bit special while we were there. The Phoenix zoo has a stingray petting and feeding tank.
The stingrays felt very soft and smooth, unlike the breed at the Pittsburgh zoo. Josh found out the hard way how to properly feed them after holding the fish too close to his hand, he had his hand mashed in the stingrays jaws. He said it felt a lot like a catfish bite.
Ryan enjoyed feeding them though!
He also enjoyed pretending he was a turtle...
and a spider....
and 'wrasslin a crocodile.
We saw some neat animals too, including a fox...
some giraffes...
and a golden eagle!
Dylan's eyes were still watery and red. He kept sneezing and he was still pale, but he did look much better from the morning. All in all, a beautiful day at the zoo!
