Phoenix Zoo!!!

While we were in Arizona for the Christmas Holiday we took the opportunity to go to the Phoenix Zoo, after all the weather was amazing! We got to see lots of wildlife and our kids did great!

This black bear was not happy with being in trapped in the zoo. On our first pass by him he got up off the rock and started walking around in the cold water looking for a way to either get to us or just get out. Bryant's brother came with a couple of his kids and they have never seen the bear so active and they go on a monthly basis (they have a family pass).

After we walked around everything else and were passing by the bear area on the opposite side we got to see the bear banging on the door to get back inside. It is moments like these that I am not sure what to think of zoos. The animals are put in cages for people to look at and learn about. Some of the animals would not be able to survive in the wild but seeing this bear so upset about life was a little disturbing.

We got to see the elephants up close eating. The boys were super excited!

I'm glad that we were able to go to the zoo and that our children can be so well behaved that we could have such a great time together!
