Canadian Thanksgiving
Unbeknown to most U.S. citizens, Canada has a Thanksgiving. It's in October. I like that, then once Halloween is past you can concentrate strictly on Christmas. We were all home this year at my mom's house (minus my husband and Kayli's husband).

The Phoenix Children's Museum in Pictures






At Abuela's Casa
Our family all went swimming (it was a 100 degrees that day) but everyone else that we were crazy because it was so cold! Hee. Hee.



This picture is just because I love 16 lane highways soooo much!!!! And Chicago roads stink.
And of course, I fitted in making two arrangements for my sister Amy, the one on the right isn't quite done. We're going to add blue flowers eventually.
This is in the entry way of her house, her oldest daughter's picture still needs to go up. Cute, eh?

The Phoenix Zoo
My own crazy animals. 
These were taken in the "Colombia" part of the zoo. Yes, it really does have a section based on Colombia. There's a border crossing station and everything.
The caverns were great to cool down in. The kids would have stayed there all day.
Ana was so excited to the ride the camel.
She was not as excited here. She wanted McDonald's. Martha instead took Leo and I out to our favorite restaurant in Phoenix--Haji Babba's. (It's on Apache close to ASU for anyone interested.) Their food is way better than their mural paintings.

Heading Out

This is Elena helping pack. Oh, so helpful isn't she?

This is Elena in Arizona. That's where we kept her for the duration of the time we spent at my mother-in-law's. I wish. No, she just really liked Honey (the dog). Although Leo taught her to say "tonta" and then she said it incessantly to the dog while pointing her finger and looking very grim and serious. Anyway, more to come soon...
