Wayne & Vicki Visit Us In Arizona

On Friday we drove to Flagstaff to meet Wayne & Vicki (and David & Normandie) for dinner - they were planning to head to Phoenix on Saturday but since we had not seen them for the past year and 1/2 we thought it was worth a short drive to see them one day early. We had a nice dinner at the Little America and on Saturday morning we drove back to Phoenix.

Jordan was dancing at the Arizona State Fair and so we all stayed and hung out at the fair for awhile after Jordan was finished. Wayne & Vicki rode some of the rides with Jordan and we all hopped in a large ferris wheel. It was fun. Jordan had a great time with her grandparents since she got them all to herself (Brennan was on a scout trip). Kirk found a Highland Cow at the petting zoo and it made him miss Scotland.

The next day we took them to Brio Fine Arts to see Kirk's art exhibit while it is still hanging. Afterwards we drove to Camp Verde to visit the Out of Africa Wild Animal Life Park. We all had a great time! Out of Africa is very cool - you get to see the animals in a very different way than the usual zoo experience. The kids got to feed the tigers and we all fed the Giraffe and Camel who stick their head right into the safari vehicle to beg for food. Very cool!

We had a short visit with Wayne & Vicki but spent our time wisely and had a great weekend!
