Fun in Phoenix

Last week we took a little trip to Phoenix to hang out with Lee's family. We did lots of shopping, eating, and hanging out. Mitchell helped grandpa make kachinas, or 'chias' as he calls them. We went to the zoo where we fed aggressive goats, laughed at the monkeys, and fed some giraffes. The giraffes freaked Mitchell out a little bit, he decided they were monsters. He also had an unfortunate run in with a swan. He was feeding the ducks little pellets and I guess the swan was sick of waiting and decided to eat Mitchell's hand instead. I thought he handled it very well, probably better than I would if my entire hand was in a yucky bird's mouth. On our way out of the zoo Mitchell requested multiple carousel rides, which grandpa was happy to oblige. By the time we were done we were all exhausted and dirty, but it was worth it! On Sunday before we headed home we stopped to see Lee's grandma. Yet another person who thinks Mitchell walks on water. Come to think of it, she seems to think Lee walks on water as well. She's a very nice lady, and it was good to visit with her.
