New Years Eve Snow

Now that I have it figured out how to post pictures again (I was somehow temporarily disabled) I can get caught up on posts. Living in Arizona you don't get much snow, especially where we live. But this year I just thought for sure we would have a white Christmas. It has been about 25 years since we have had one... and I think we are due....well it didn't happen, but new years eve we woke up to this.

I know most people wouldn't call this snow, but this is what we get when it does snow...and I will take it. Before the sun came out it was pouring down snow pretty good, sadly it stopped.

Lil pup didn't much care for it. 

So who did get a white Christmas, and how much snow did you have?
 

Overnight Excursion

With our granddaughters visit we thought that was a perfect excuse for an overnight excursion...The Hubs and I have not done that since our weekend in Greer six years ago...that is way too long!!

We planned it as a surprise and the suspense was just eating away at our granddaughter so she finally asked PLLEEEAASE tell me where we are going...Grampy's response...TO THE MOON!!! Hmmm she didnt like that answer, but that is the answer we kept up, so finally the morning of...

Kenzie: I know we are not going to the moon....we cant go to the moon...2 weeks ago they would have had to give us tests to be able to go.

Grammy: We got special permission, with Grampy being a pilot that makes us good to go.

Kenzie: MAYBE we are going to a place that LOOKS like the moon...oh maybe a science center....WAIT who wants to go to a science center in the middle of summer???!!

Grammy: But I thought you were a brainiac?


Kenzie: yeah but I dont want to learn in summer!!!

HAHAHA just gotta love it....so off we went....and just what does the moon look like??

Bearizona! A drive-thru wildlife park where we had so much fun! They say allow for 2 hours...I say more like 3. We spent 2 hours alone at the walk thru part and watching the birds of prey show, where I got to see my most favorite animal....

A lil creepy to have him staring full on at you when you are only 3 feet away, but so very cool!!

The park is full of all kinds of animals, bears, lynx, wolves, bison and so much more. Totally worth the time spent there!!

Off to Williams Arizona for part B of our adventure....
