Scottsdale and Phoenix

On Sunday night Josh asked if we should head over to Scottsdale to visit Tyler. Of course I said yes, so I called Tyler and let him know that Josh has Tues- Thurs off and asked if we can come visit, he says yes, so it's a plan. Monday morning I jump out of bed because I realize Josh is late for work, turns out that he got called off (somehow I didn't hear the phone). So at 8:00 am we call Tyler and let him know we are leaving right then instead of the next day. So we threw some clothes in a bag and we hit the road.

The drive is actually really nice. Once we got into AZ, we took a different route than last time, it was so pretty!!! Who knew AZ was pretty, it was all trees and mountains until about 40 miles outside of Scottsdale.

We got in Monday afternoon and already knew where we were going for dinner. Tyler got off work and we headed straight over to Cafe Rio. Mmmm

The next day while we were just relaxing at Tylers house he and I decided to go get a pedicure. It was so nice!! Right by the pedicure place was

this....

Keegan has his own eating establishment.

Wednesday we headed over to the Phoenix Zoo. It was really nice with lots of shade!! All of the animal enclosures are really big , and they have a fun petting zoo section were Keegan had to pet every single one of the goats in there.

The first thing we did was go to this little animal show, it was pretty cheesy but Keegan had fun. Here he is with a strange smile.

Keegan on the elephant statues, he looks pretty relaxed

This was in a cute little village area, the animals were off display but I thought it was a cute place for a photo and he is almost smiling normal. (what you don't see is the HUGE bite of pretzel that he is somehow hiding in his mouth)

And we are done. We got there early and were able to get out of there before it got too warm.

We had a great time in Scottsdale with Tyler, lots of relaxing, lots of good food and even a Sprinkles Cupcake! so good!! And how can you forget a second trip to Rio.
