A few weeks ago I was going a little crazy because Weldon had been working so much overtime and I was home alone with the kids, so when Weldon got a weekend off we took our chance and got a hotel in Mesa for a night and loaded up the kids and took a short break from life. We had a really good time. I was worried about how Colton and Kaci would do in the hotel, but they both did fine. Kaci slept all night and I just slept in the same bed as Colton so he wouldn’t wake up and not know where he was and be afraid. The next morning we woke up and got ready for the day and then went to the zoo. It was so much fun. Colton loved to see all of the animals and Kaci would get so excited and giggle when she saw them too.
Kaci was really funny when she saw the Javelinas because she got very interested and for what ever reason started growling at them. It made us laugh.
Kaci did really well the whole time and was happy and had fun seeing all of the animals.
Colton and I rode a camel, it was fun. Kaci was too young.
We loved the orangutans, they were so funny. There was a young one that was like a little kid, it would summersault around and try to get the older ones to play. They were fun to watch and we stayed there for quite a while to watch them.

When we got to the elephants a zookeeper came and he called the elephant over and fed her three apples and petted her a little bit. Then he leaned in and kissed her shoulder. Weldon and I thought this was gross because I imagine that an elephant would be somewhat stinky and dirty. It was cool to see one so close and hear the zookeeper talk about them though.
We had lots of fun and the kids liked it too. It was also really nice because they were so worn out from all of the walking around that they fell asleep almost as soon as the car started, and slept most of the way home!
