Zootastic

Phoenix zoo is now our favorite zoo!  The exhibits were beautiful and seemed more natural. It was a perfect day to spend together soaking up the Arizona sunshine!  Our favorite had to be the turtles, maybe because we were able to get to close to them.  It was also fun to go to the petting zoo and brush the animals.

conference sunday

Conference sunday is a special tradition at the Dopp's house.  And even though we were far from home, that didn't stop us from carrying the tradition on!  We started out with a special breakfast then snuggled in to watch conference.  I loved watching the girls watch the entire first session. Taking notes with  their new notebooks  and pens Grandma had sent them made it that much more fun!  Grandma would have smiled at the site!

Rainbow Delight!

Kate was so excited to turn four and have a rainbow birthday party.  It was a perfect success but with ten four years olds there, I was quickly reminded why I never was a preschool teacher!  Everything we did was colorful of course.  We made fruit loop necklaces, played with colorful play dough and even had magic rainbow punch!  They just couldn't figure out how every glass of pop poured out a different color.  That magic alone would have kept them busy all day!  Kate had a wonderful time celebrating with her friends!
