Fountain Park

On our last day in Arizona we spent some time at a really neat place called Fountain Park. Along with a popular disc golf course, there is a famous fountain that shoots up 300 feet every hour for a few minutes.

That same evening we drove by a cool lit up spire designed by Frank Lloyd Wright who is well known in the area.

This is the last of our vacation posts. We had a great time in Arizona and California with family and always look forward to the next time.

Phoenix Zoo: Part Ada

Ada loved the goats at the petting zoo! I think some of them went deaf with her high pitched screaming though :)

Phoenix Zoo: Part 1

I love zoos and getting the opportunity to visit a new one and take Ada for the first time was very exciting. It was a lovely 85 degrees on New Year’s Eve, perfect summer weather for us Washingtonians :)

49 Weeks

After having a great time (well, other than the flu) with my family, we headed to Phoenix, Arizona to stay with Todd’s brother Keith & his new wife Samantha. When we got there, Ada immediately fell in love with their two cute dogs Ares & Emma. Ada also discovered the use of her tongue…pretty sure the dogs taught her that with all their wet kisses.

I forgot to mention in the Christmas Eve post that Ada took her first steps in the same spot that she learned to crawl back in August, something about my parents house!
