Luke Air Days

Today we spent the entire day at Luke Air Force Base attending the airshow.  It was fun and the kids had a great time.  We were a little tired and a lot dirty by the end of the day, but we look forward to this event every 2 years!

Yes, the belly is growing!

Cal Ripken Day at Surprise Stadium

Yesterday was Cal Ripken Day at Surprise Stadium.  All the t-ball, softball, little league and babe ruth players in the city of Surprise were invited to attend and take part in a pre-game ceremony!  Fortunately, the Rangers were playing and J.T.'s team is the Texas A & M Aggies, so they got a lot of cheers from the crowd!  He is #4.

Before we left for the stadium.  He looks so grown-up with that smirk!

World Wildlife Zoo

On Tuesday, we decided to enjoy what will probably be our last day in the 70s until November, a day at the World Wildlife Zoo.  The kids both had a great time.  Zoe loved feeding the giraffes and J.T. loved feeding the lories.  He loved it so much we had to go back twice.  We were walking around the aquarium and he looked at me and said, "Mom, I didn't know the zoo was so fun!".  Too cute.
