We even got a chance to feed the giraffes crackers. Trivia: did you know that giraffes have long black tongues? When they eat they wrap their tongue around the object and pull it into their mouth.

Peyton and her Great Grandpa

Mom and Grandpa

It was so good to see Grandpa.

Des Moines Zoo

While in Iowa we went to the Zoo with my Grandpa McEwen. I have never seen exotic animals so close before, some of the animals were within arms reach. The Des Monies Zoo beats the Phoenix Zoo hands down with no comparison. This peacock was just walking along the side walk with us.

Sophie and Peyton

Peyton idolizes Sophie, I don't know why. Maybe it is because Sophie is such an amazing young woman. I am proud to have her for my cousin, I only wish we lived closer so I could hang out with her more often. Although I would have to fight Peyton for her. Peyton was by Sophie's side every second of the trip, and had Sophie with drawls when we got back to Arizona. For weeks Peyton kept asking when she could see Sophie again.

Skittles!!!

Auntie Carolyn got me Skittles since I am to little for gumballs.
