Our return to the Phoenix Zoo

Something we've wanted to do since we moved back here in April was to visit the Phoenix Zoo. Our kids have practically grown up there. Every year in the valley we would buy a yearly pass for us, then we could go there anytime we wanted, free of charge. The membership pays for itself after the 2nd visit. There were quite a few new improvements for 2012, their 50th Anniversary. The entire entryway has been redone, there's new animals, some of the animal locations have changed, they've added some new features like a huge slide for the kids, and the whole place looks better landscaped than it was a few years ago. Here's a few pictures of just a few things we saw, bears, jaguars, cheetahs, flamingos, golden eagles, giant tortoises, pelicans, squirrel monkeys, otters, and more! I love the flowers there too!

(sorry, I got 2 of the same one in there and don't know how to pull out just that one, but look at his face!)

After almost 3 hours, there's still more that we didn't see...next time!
