Nee-mos!

Nee-mos, is Fifi-speak for, "animals".

 

On the 'cool' day of our vacation in Phoenix, we decided to get out and about and head to the wildlife zoo/aquarium. It was perfect temps for wandering around outside with out the pool near by. 

And I think , because of the weather, more of the animals were actually out and visible. Nothing harder than going to the zoo and seeing a bunch of empty cages, or trying to point out a very well camouflaged bird or mammal to a 3 year old.

Fifi squealed and squealed at these guys. 

She touched one when it swam by. She was freaked and so excited all at once.

It took a lot to get her to leave the ray tank.

 

The petting zoo was a little nutty. 

Andy almost lost part of his shirt and Fi was just not sure if she liked that those little furry things were at eye level or not.

 

O got to pet a desert tortoise and then wanted to pet every other animal in the zoo too.

 

We took a train ride through Africa.

 

Then stopped for lunch. The sign of a good vacation is in the clothes... 

(cherry juice and mustard from your 'dog' = a good time.)

 

Daddy sometimes walks REALLY fast.
Wait UP!

 

The giraffes were my favorite part of the day.
They are so majestic looking...

 

O will tell you they have a slimy tongues...

It was a great day out and about, but my little "nee-mos" needed a big time nap after all that fun...
