After party-ing into the wee hours with Shannon (and Tom) after they arrived Wednesday night, or at least until 10:30, we all had to sleep in a bit Thursday morning. But before long we found ourselves at the Phoenix Zoo - along with four or five thousand other spring-breakers. We still had fun just being together, despite the heat and crowds. The animals were nice too. While we were in Florida Alden drove Avery nuts and she had little patience for him, now they seem to be the best of friends, even to the exclusion of poor Callie. But she didn't seem to feel too bad. After all, Emmett's friendship was up for grabs. Even Candice and Jaycee were able to come and get to know our friends too.
After a bit of a rest and some naps for the kiddos we stopped for dinner at Mangos in downtown Mesa before heading to the temple for the Easter Pagaent. A meal with six kids is kind of hard but we made it through. The kids ran around and looked at the statues while the adults finished eating. A big thanks to my mom for letting us leave Emmett and Lucy at her house after dinner. The rest of us enjoyed the pagaent- or at least tried. The kids were a bit tired and grumpy - okay, mostly Alden. And me. But so worth it.
