Spring Break Trip 2022- Part 1

 For Spring Break this year me and the kids went to Arizona to visit my parents (Ryan had to work). We stopped at my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Ken's house in LaVerkin on our way down to listen to some general conference and stay the night. We went on a little walk around their neighborhood in the morning, and we even got to feed a horse through their fence!

At Grandma and Grandpa Martin's house, the kids got to swim and play with cousins and even have a tea party!

Our second day in Arizona we drove down to Tucson to do some sight seeing! Our first stop was at Le Cave's bakery, that has some of our favorite donuts ever- whipped cream filled! They were just as amazing as I remembered:

Then we went to look at our old house. The neighborhood was much more brown than I remember:

Then we went to check out the Tucson temple. It was announced right before we moved away, so it was pretty cool to get to see it in person!

Our last stop in Tucson was to the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. It was a fun place to go when we lived in Tucson, and they've added even more fun things since we last went! We started out by feeding the donkeys:

Then we fed the parakeets:

And the deer:

Then we fed the goats:

My dad got a "goat kiss":

We fed the ostriches too:

Cora's loved feeding the soft bunnies:

We all loved petting the tortoises:

And everyone had a lorikeet land on them! Technically, the lorikeet landed on me, but Ivy was helping me hold the container of food:

And we all fed and pet a stingray:

The kids all got a turn at the little pretend shooting range:

We had a great time at the ostrich farm!
