One of our family goals is to go to the park each Saturday. Usually this means just visiting one of the local neighborhood parks, but yesterday we instead decided to go to Papago Park, a large park in Phoenix next to the zoo. We were glad that Grandma was still here to enjoy the day with us.
We first had a picnic lunch and then then enjoyed watching the ducks play around in the ponds.
Amie took some portraits of each of the kids that turned out very nice…
Next we visited Hunt’s tomb. George W. P. Hunt was Arizona’s first governor and served 7 terms. He built the tomb for his wife, and was himself entombed there after his own death. It sits elevated above the valley and offers some great views. Since it sits right next to the zoo you can see some of the animals.
Finally, we ended by hiking up to “The hole in the rock”. The kids had a blast climbing all over the rock formations.
AWESOME PICTURES!! Amie did a great job on the kids portraits!!
