Phoenix Zoo

We got a free pass to the Phoenix Zoo from our library! They are always checked out, but I guess the heat has scared people away:) I snatched it up and we went pretty early morning. 

This little monkey sat and talked with Cora, it was funny to see them interact

Best friend Vivian

We had some friends watch Cora and these are some of the pictures that they sent us. Cora spends nearly every day with Vivian and they are just best friends:)

This is another silly day, I think they were playing with all of Vivian's bows

Splash Pad

We have discovered the Thunderbird Splash Pad which has been a lot of fun for Cora!

Inside out

This is our first summer in Phoenix with a babe and we have had to be creative about entertainment while it is sooo hot outside:)

Sitting out in the morning shade

Challenging Weston to toy stacking competitions:)

We play A LOT of guitar

Swinging!

 Fabric shopping...

Playing with older friend's legos

Crusin' the furniture

Reading

Playing with our own toys

And playing with the bread maker arm (seriously her favorite one)

Independence Day

This Fourth of July was magical! We went for a super early morning bike ride with our new bike trailer:)

Cora LOVED it!

We went to the ward breakfast at the church

Croquet with friends

And (small) fireworks:)

Church family photos

Sometimes when you get to church really early, you make your family take a little family photo, because that is just the type of girl you are:)

Black Canyon Hikers

This was the last time this spring we would be able to hike, so we went to one of our favorites up north, Black Canyon.

Golfing Range

Arizona does not have the same recreation as the Wasatch Front, so we have tried out some new hobbies. Weston has been teaching me how to golf, I was certainly leery at first, but surprisingly has been fun!

Arizona Summer Pastime

We do a lot of swimming at our apartment pool!
