Spontaneous Weekend Getaway!:)

Two weekends ago, Brian had a 2 day tournament way out in Phoenix. We came along this time and made a little weekend trip out of it! It was an absolute blast! We drove out Friday late afternoon and went to the ball games at Rio Vista. We stayed in a hotel that night, which was really nice and we really enjoyed! We watched Four Christmases finally! ha ha It was alright. Anaston LOVED the hotel! She had a blast there! She thought it was so neat to stay in a hotel for the night! The next morning we headed out to a game and grabbed lunch. Anaston and I had the opportunity to go to The Wildlife World Zoo next while Brian continued to play. It was the neatest zoo I've been to so far! It was a nice breezy, cloudy day so the weather was beautiful and there were so many neat animals to see! The whole atmosphere was really neat and alot nicer looking than other zoo's...kinda exotic. They have recently built on three huge aquarium rooms to walk through so we got to see that as well and it was incredible! I LOVE aquariums! Anaston LOVED the zoo and the aquarium. They even had rides there! A log ride, fairy boat ride, etc! It started to rain as we were leaving so it all panned out perfect! During B's last game, Anaston and I grabbed dinner at the NICEST McDonald's I'd ever seen! Leather couches...did not look anything like one! Then we cozied up in the car in the parking lot and watched Dora till Dad finished and drove home and slept like bears! B had the best hitting game of his life! I'll have to put his exact stat's down later. It was a great weekend! Thanks babe!

Rio Vista is an amazing park! There is the fields of course, a Starbucks, a HUGE gym, a splash pad, duck ponds and the hugest park I've ever seen with a giant covered barbeque are that was the nicest thing I've ever seen. Anaston was in heaven!
Wee!!!

Silly face!

Good morning, sunshine!

Of course we had to start at the petting zoo...Anaston goes nuts feeding those animals and they all flock around her and follow her everywhere! She's little miss Mary Poppins!

We were amazed by the giraffes and even got to go up on this dock thing and fee them and feel their long, black, sticky tongues! It was really neat!

As we were walking away, we saw a Daddy, Mommy and baby I'm assuming, walking out. It looked so neat!

Anaston loved how funny looking camels are! ha ha

This was one of her favorite stops...the zebra's!

I am always amazed by the flamingo's...they are gorgeous!

Annie had a front row seat and was talking to them! ha ha

My beautiful little girl:)

This poor rhino looked EXHAUSTED! it took a double take to make sure he was alive!

The monkey's were INSANE!!!

Anaston's other favorite was the tiger's. She was begging me to see them the entire time!

Anaston's first time holding a starfish! We also pet sting rays!

This crazy looking turtle is a dinosaur turtle! It was the most amuzing thing to watch!

You can't really see us here but I love the way the aquarium looks!

We were lucky enough to catch the penguins smoochin! Just in time for Valentine's! ha ha

How cool is this shot? We had really good timing!

Don't think I'd ever seen an albino crocidile before!

That's all folks!
