My 83 year old Aunt Terry and her buddy, Ethel, were in Arizona from Texas for a few days. Aunt Terry (my mom's only sister and my only living aunt) is a gambler and Harrah's gives her trips to different properties they own around the U.S.A.
. Well Auntie decided she hadn't seen me in many years so decided to visit Harrah's Ak-Chen Casino in Maricopa, AZ. so she could come visit me. Cool huh?
On March 21st Patrick and I took Aunt Terry and Ethel to the Phoenix Zoo. Below is the bridge across the water leading to the Phoenix Zoo. Side note: As a fund raiser almost 20 years ago the Zoo sold engraved bricks and as a surprise to me for Christmas Patrick bought 2. One for the bridge and one for me to unwrap at home! We looked for & found "our" brick before entering the Zoo. Auntie has emphysema so we rented a wheel chair to make it a little easier on her for touring the zoo. Patrick was pleased to be her "chauffeur". What a guy! Below are photos, in no particualr order, from our zoo trip. I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed our trip. By the way, it was just a gorgeous day to do the zoo!
This is a behind the scenes view of the elephant enclosure.
G'Bye Phoenix Zoo. It was a great visit!!

What a wonderful day. I love that your Aunt is still out there...having fun.
What a sweet love note. That Patrick....he is a keeper!
I love going to the zoo! I bet you all had a great time. That brick with the love note is so sweet and romantic. Made me smile. :D
Nice, VERY nice. I love the brick idea, too.
Glad you got a visit with your Aunt. How nice.
Luv the brick. I miss going to the Zoo. Need to go and see how it's changed.
That brick idea is cute. I can't believe you found yours out of all those bricks!
Your aunt is a cutie; just like your mom. ;)
Going to the zoo is always fun!
