The desert is so beautiful - Todd and I both miss it! :)
One day we went to the Science Museum (at least, I think that's where we went! I forgot to take a pic of the exterior, or save anything that might jog my memory later, haha!)
Luken, checking something interesting out!
There was this really neat room with all kinds of heart models, and this body, onto which they projected footage of an actual heart surgery! We spent a little time watching that, as our little friend Vivien had heart surgery, so seeing that was special to us! :D
BUGS!! How cool!
Beth, this one's just for you, heehee!
Look, Mom - a Goliath Beetle!
Investigating an ant farm with Grandpa.
They had a neat dinosaur exhibit there. Lots of large-scale robotic dinos - whoa!!!
Luken was FASCINATED with this scene. Yes, these are smaller dinosaurs attempting to eat a larger one!
The kiddos playing in the fossil dig sand.
Saturday was a GORGEOUS day! (It had been raining and overcast most of the time before that.) It was a perfect day for the ZOO!
We rented a double stroller for the day - it was a smart idea!
A beautiful eagle.
A lookout point for viewing the giraffes!
The tiger, hanging out up in the tree! It took a few minutes to figure out where he was!
Keeley and Grandpa.
The requisite meltdown (one of them, at least!)
Followed by a beautiful smile while enjoying the carousel!
(I played around with a different look for this pic.)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Luken loves it, too!
Cutie pie!
Gorgeous zebra!
Stretching their legs a bit!
Time for a little refreshment!
Galapagos Tortises. These guys were so cute!
Keeley liked 'em!
On to the petting zoo. I think this was Keeley's first time at a petting zoo. She loved it!
Silly Luken smooshing his face into the mesh of the stroller!
Beautiful girl!!!!!
A typical Keeley expression!
Kids with Grandparents!
Keeley, picking out her souvenir - a monkey!
Luken opted for a bag o' snakes!
Later, Keeley went golfing for a bit. OK, actually she just played around on the putting green behind our room.

That's all I've got! We had a fun trip, but we're ready to stay home for a while now! Keeley did fairly well on this trip, but the plane rides were still difficult. Sorry, fellow passengers! :P

Oh, I must note - we did get to have In-N-Out Burger TWICE on this trip. Mmmmm..... as delicious as we remembered. :D
