3 days in Phoenix

This is me with Ed. In the morning, I got to see his chickens. They were so cute and I got to name one Tiger. 

After seeing the chickens we went into the hot tub.  The jets are so powerful. 


We went to the library in the middle of Phoenix and it was one of the biggest libraries I've ever been too.  It even had glass elevators. The best part was the outdoor reading area. You could get out any book and read in the sunshine.



After that we did some boring Daddy and Ed errands. The next day we went straight back into the hot tub and fed the chickens their morning meal. Then we went out to Walmart and bought a basketball and frisbee and headed for the pool at the YMCA. It was one of the coolest pools ever. Daddy and I played catch for a little while and then switched to play with the frisbee.  Once I almost wacked a kid in the head. 

Daddy and I got out for a while and read our books but then the waterslide opened. It was super fun and went really fast.  Next to it was this mushroom that sprayed water. 





On the third day, Ed took me to learn some golfing skills. He taught me how to swing and hit the ball. I was better than I thought I'd be. After we were finished golfing, I got to drive the golf cart all by myself. It was so much fun. I decided to go really fast. I even got to cross the street. 

There was a little pond that we drove by and there was lots of ducks in it. I got to feed them some bread.

This is me at the movies. I was so excited when I heard I was going to go to the movies. We watched The Croods. It was one of the funniest movies...and also one of the best. It was about cavemen and their fun times. Ed has a special movie shirt that gets you free popcorn and a $1 drink if you wear it at the movie.  I got to wear the lucky shirt.  

Our trip to Phoenix

Today Daddy and I arrived in Las Vegas and made our way to Phoenix. It was awesome. The flight wasn't too long or too short.



This is me in the Vegas airport.



When we got to the airport we picked up our car rental from Payless Car Rentals. When we got the car we drove for 2 hours but it wasn't so bad.  We stopped half-way through and looked at a store that made homemade jewellery. I was going to buy something but decided not to in the end. It was a pair of dolphins hanging on a string with beads, which was tied to a barret. It was awesome but I decide I could get something better with $12.




We filled the car with gas and drove for another couple of hours, making our way to the Grand Canyon. It was amazing.  It was one of the coolest sites I have ever seen. It was beautiful. The layers of rocks made it look even cooler.

I did one of the scariest things I've ever done that day. There was a rock that you could climb on and it felt like you were about to fall off the cliff into the Grand Canyon. I was scared but also had a lot of fun. We were hanging off the Grand Canyon.



On our way to Ed's house in Phoenix, we saw some Moose on the loose. They were so cute. One had a shaved butt! I was so close to them that I could almost touch him if I reached out. We drove for another 3 hours after and was tired by the time we finally got to our destination.
