Out and about

I am finally feeling better with my diminishing morning sickness and with 70 degree weather couldn't stand not getting outside more. One day this week we drove to Canyon lake that is only about 20 minutes from my parents place. I was impressed with the scenic drive through tonto national forest on the way to the also impressive man-made lake. It has a marina, campground, several pull off picnic areas, and restaurant/resort on it. There was also a super small but cute town called "Tortilla Flat" that had live music even on a weekday in the afternoon just past the lake. We were going to head to the next lake which was another 15 miles down the road, but decided to save that for a later time.Next, we went to the Phx zoo where we have a yearly pass. It was Ken and Kyson's second time there, but my first time. I was very impressed. They had quite a selection of animals, it was huge, they have camel rides, a train ride, and you can even feed stringrays. Kyson loved the petting zoo and was not afraid at all of even two goats about to butt heads as he approached them from the back right in between. He couldn't stop smiling and laughing around the monkeys. He definitely loves animals... and we will be back.
