Most children see snow in the winter and have to bundle up head to toe, but not our kids. We prefer to have snow in 110 degree weather, makes it more fun. Today at the zoo they brought in snow for the kids to play in. Cameron has seen snow before but this was a first for Morgan.
At first she was not very impressed but soon caught on to throwing snow balls at brother and mom. Cameron had a blast. He caught me off guard more than once, which means I was hit by more snowballs then I would have liked. There were tons of kids there so the snow soon turned to slush then mud. So we continued on to see some animals and hit the water of course. But here are a few things we did before playing in the water.
The petting zoo is always a big hit :)
The bears had a special treat today frozen buckets of ice with fruits and veggies on the inside. Here is Morgan watching the bear, so serious!!!
Took some fun poses whle playing around on some statued nimals. I think I have millions of pictures with the kids in the shell and on the alligator, so here are a few more to add to our collection.
As we were wondering around looking at animals, they brought a fire truck in to give the elephant a bath with the fire hose. There was such a large crowd we couldn't see so we moved on. Because it was one of the most miserable hot humid days in AZ that I can remember not many animals were out and about. So we spent a majority of the time at the water area and having a snow cone. After being there for 6 hours the kids were ready to leave.
