Land of the Dragons

So it has been forever since I have posted on the family blog. Little bit of craziness, plus I like to post pictures and I am a huge slacker when it comes to loading pictures. Here goes

At the beginning of November we went to the Phoenix Zoo since they were having a special day with Fisher Price. They brought in a bunch of toys (which was excellent marketing on their part for the kids to play with then ask for them for Christmas). They had a little station to make little necklaces and just play. Charlotte had fun playing with Dora and Savannah made necklaces for the entire family. They had a huge blow up dinosaur like one of their toys, and Charlotte wanted nothing to do with it.


They also had a power wheels driving course. It was pretty funny to watch all the kids drive. Savannah insisted that she wanted the pink Barbie jeep. Charlotte was just happy to be along for the ride. Savannah was pretty much an A to B driver and hit the rails a few times since she was going a bit too fast and didn't turn in time. They both had grins on their faces the entire time.


We went to see the Spider Monkey's which are Charlotte's favorite. She loves that you get to walk in their enclosure and have them right up close.

We also got to see a sneak peek before all the other crowds at the new Land of the Dragons, with our new Komono Dragons. There is a male and female. They are brother and sister. The male is 7 feet long 150lbs and the female is 6 ft 75lbs. We also learned that they will find a way to reproduce if there is not a male around. A female can lay fertilized eggs all on her own, but they will all be male. If you want to produce a female well then you will need the male.

We also headed over to Harmony Farm. The girls love to play on the little playground which was sponsored by Fisher Price and has all the Fisher Price animals to play on. We also went over to see Jack and Pedro (the horse & donkey). Chad was holding Charlotte and she want to nervously pet Jacks nose and he sneezed. She instantly starting crying and didn't want anything to do with the them anymore. It was hard to just get her to sit on the wooden horses for a picture.

Lastly the Sting Rays are back from their summer vacation. By the time we got there Charley had fallen asleep, but Savannah enjoyed reaching her hand in to pet them.
