Once a year the Phoenix Zoo trucks in a couple tons of snow and ice to give the animals some new stimulation, as well as attract business during their slowest months.   We got there at 7:30am, and it was still about 100 degrees and crowded.   G liked the special waterslides and music, but otherwise was quite ho-hum about the snow.   I almost wished I’d left her at home so I could have enjoyed the sights.

We found a loop of the zoo we had previously never explored, which got us away from most of the crowds.   The wallaby and petting zoo were big hits.

G ran around the goat pen making sure she brushed every one, twice.
