Us girls also went to the Out of Africa zoo near Sedona. I loved getting to be so close to the wildlife! (Although I was very thankful for the fences – at one point, a little lion cub locked his sights onto Tazie and watched her every move – it was a little unnerving!)
While we were enjoying the wildlife, the boys were enjoying the wilderness; they rented ATVs in the desert!
Here’s the kids an Pappy before we headed to church on Sunday morning:
Danny really got into the gingerbread house decorating!
And of course we played lots and lots of badminton! 
We also got to visit a gorgeous musical lightshow. It was amazing!
We walked around downtown Scottsdale and enjoyed going in all the fancy shops (the boys especially liked the Tesla store!):
We also went boating at Lake Pleasant:
And played mini-golf, go-karts and laser tag at an amusement park!
To top it all off, we had a delicious Thanksgiving meal prepared by Aunt Julie, Bubba and Gramma Jean:
Capped off by the kids’ annual Thanksgiving play:
It was a perfect week of fun!
What fun photos !!! Looks like a great week ! No wonder why everyone loves coming out to AZ. Julie should be an event planner !!
