We got up earlier than normal today s o we could get to the Phoenix Zoo shortly after it opened. It was nice to be able to go everywhere without trying to navigate people, but that changed about thirty minutes in when the kids on field trips arrived. It was one of the busiest days of the year for the Zoo, since it’s spring break for a lot of kids and some schools in session bring their kids here for a field trip.
Today we went on a ninty minute drive up I17 to the town of Campe Verde and the wild animal park nearby called Out of Africa. We left about an hour late and the place was pretty packed. While on the the ‘safari’ ride, the driver said that they normally get 500 people but today they expected 1500. Spring break is the busiest time of the year for them.
Today was the first baseball game of the trip, with the A’s hosting the Dodgers split squad. After allowing the Dodgers to put up four runs in the second, they came back and scored nine in the third. They wanted to coast home, but the Dodgers put up four runs in the ninth to bring it to 10-8 before the game ended. I ate a footlong hot dog with kraut, onions and peppers. As my mustache grows, I have to relearn how to eat certain things, and dogs are one of those things.
We are tired. Last night we all had some kind of problems sleeping. Hunter decided that he couldn’t keep so much milk in his stomach, and burped up a lot of it all over Heather and the bed. He had to get new clothes on and calmed down enough to go back to sleep. I had to put on headphones and find a radio station to listen to in order to get to sleep, but then woke up a couple hours later and couldn’t immediately return to sleep. Eventually I did, but not before listening to a bunch of oldie songs on Cola 99.9FM. Reminds me of the old KFRC.
