Charlie's Photos

Charlie got his own camera for Xmas this year. 

A camera with a special feature - it goes underwater!

sweating it out at the zoo

Last week, we ventured into the city

for an adventure at the Phoenix Zoo.

In 110 degree heat, we started out at the 

caverns splash pad and ended with a loop 

around the zoo on the safari train

(the best way to see the zoo, in my opinion).

The best part, we ran into our cousins!

this handsome boy is the only child to expend

the energy to get off the train for a picture with the giraffes

A great August day in Phoenix!
