Escaping the Snow

Very luckily we had planned on a weekend trip to Phoenix for a few months. We were even more excited about leaving last Friday morning after 3 days of being mostly snowed in. We stayed with Robert's very cool cousin Wendy, and saw most of the kid friendly sights in 2 days.

On Friday we first hit the Children's museum. Here's Gray at the top of the 3 story climbing structure.


Then we spent some time at the Natural History Museum.


After an early Saturday morning at the farmer's market with Robert's aunt and cousins we walked around the botanical gardens.


Robert and I were surprised by how beautiful the desert was, even during the winter. It was especially enchanting given the above 60 degree afternoons!


Lastly we went to the zoo and we all agreed that the spider monkeys were our favorite animals, though these baboons were pretty entertaining too.
