more reading fun!
our current list from the library is pretty good.... we randomly grab at things and lately its been leaving much to be desired ;)
tombstone
we took a day trip out to tomstone, arizona.
it was my first time there & i have advice- go in the winter! :)
it was really too hot to enjoy any of it & we rushed through almost everything! seeing the history of the old west was definitely worth a trip- just not in the summer!
book club
we joined a book club at a local toy shop- you are supposed to read a book, do a craft or draw a picture about the book & bring it in for a stamp... after so many stamps you get prizes/free passes, free gelato, etc.
we keep forgetting to go in for the stamps... but here is a snippet of the latest drawings!
Ostrich Ranch
We stopped at the ostrich ranch that is half way between phoenix and tucson..... oh my goodness was it hilarious and fun!
We fed ostrich, deer, donkeys, and rainbow lorikeets!
Then, we rode on a HUGE, monster truck! The ride took us all over the ranch property and explained what exactly ostrich ranches do. Like, for instance, did you know that a grown adult human can stand and jump on an ostrich egg? its that strong!!!
It was very fun, very informative and well ran. We always said we would stop there and then would forget! I am so glad we finally did it.
here is a link to the ranch!
dinosaur bones
Ira is quite interested in dinosaurs right now.... she wants to know EVERYTHING....
we found a great kids museum in phoenix that had a nice selection so we made a mini-vacation of it and stayed the whole weekend.
The resort we stayed at was beautiful, the pools were lovely in this unforgiving heat!!!!
All in all it was a good trip- but as always- was way too short!
