2 Year Anniversary... kinda

So, Craig and I got to celebrate our 2 year anniversary this year. Technically we are only half way to our first anniversary. Two more years and we get to celebrate our actual anniversary! But we have been married for more than 720 days, so we are counting it as two years! This year we celebrated on Saturday, February 27th. Craig surprised me and took me to the Phoenix Zoo! It was completely unexpected, and sooo much fun! We took a million pictures! It was hard to to put them all up, but we chose our favorites.

This is the man of my dreams!! I love him so much! He is always able to surprise me in new and fun ways! I don't know how I got so lucky! Or so blessed! :)
So this is the row we parked in! As we were walking up to it, I loudly announced that we were parked in the "Magical Wolf Row"!! I was so excited! Craig was dieing laughing at me. It took me a good 10 seconds to realize why he was laughing at me. After that the big joke of the day was "I didn't know the Phoenix Zoo had Magical Creatures!!" haha...

Another reason I love my husband so much... He is so adorable when he gets super excited about things! He gets this HUGE smile on his face and his excitement is infectious. It felt like we were two little kids discovering the world for the first time! The first thing we walked in and saw were Craigy's favorite! He loved the Turtles! It was so fun. There were his favorite pictures!

Craig's next favorite animal was the little Elephant. She was so much fun to watch! It was kind of sad because she was all alone. There were no other elephants to keep her company. But, we decided she liked it because she got first pick of the hay, and the trainers were tossing her hot dog buns! It was so fun to watching her get the hay out of the net. She stuck about a foot and a half of her trunk into the sack, wiggled it around and pulled out a whole bundle of hay! Her mouth was opened wide the whole time! It was so cute!

Okay, I'll stop with all of the commentary... But these Tortoises were HUMONGOUS!!!!

Of course I loved the Peacocks! They were soo beautiful! And they didn't fear people at all!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the big cats! We made our way to them in the afternoon, so they were all napping! The big Lion was Craig's favorite! It was funny, during the 2 or 3 minutes we were standing there, the Lioness flipped onto her back in the same position as the Lion. They were too far away from each other to take their picture together.

Large Rhino!!

These Otters were so cute! They just wrestled all around with each other! They made the most adorable squeaking noises!

Can you spot the animal that doesn't belong?? :)

Craig would sing "One of these is not like the other."

I told Craig that my favorite animals, when I was really young was the Zebra. So he took my picture. Then, Amanda's favorite animal was the Bunny, so my favorite animal was the bunny. So Mandy switched to White Tigers, so I switched to White Tigers. Ah... a true little sister!

We loved the Big Giraffes!

Our feeties were tired at the end of the day, but boy did we have FUN!!
