Grimm Family Fun: A Visit From Doug!

A Visit From Doug

Well this should have been a post from Super Bowl weekend back in February, but that crazy snow storm hit Dallas and Doug was snowed in. Anyway, we were lucky enough that he could reschedule and got to come to Phoenix for a visit in March!

NCAA Tournament

Doug actually picked the perfect weekend to come to Phoenix because our KSU Wildcats were still in the NCAA tournament and, as luck would have it, they were playing that same weekend in Tucson. Tucson really isn't far from us, so Shaun and Doug found some tournament tickets, headed on a mini road trip, and spent the day watching basketball. Even though the Cats lost, they seemed to have a great time!

Great seats right at mid court. Plus if you happened to be watching the game on television,

Shaun could point out the numerous times they showed the back of their heads!

A great game from Pullen, but unfortunately that was the end of the tourney for the Cats.

A Morning at the Zoo

After a day of basketball we decided to visit the zoo and check out the animals. One of Larkin's very favorite things to do!

The rare and elusive family photo!

Brayden's first carousel ride!

Having fun at the petting zoo.

Fun with the kangaroos!

Posing with the elephant statue.

Learning to ride the tractor with a little help from Uncle Doug!

Brayden was happy just to stand in front of the tractor.

Brayden was NOT happy when it was time to leave the tractor.

Here is his pouty face!

As Bray was learning how to walk he felt it was helpful to point everywhere he went.

In this picture he was just starting to walk all on his own. Now there is no stopping him!

Practicing riding a pony. Again the pointing must help with balancing!

Taking a break with Uncle Doug!

And they are off again...

Larkin had to consult her map every time we started walking. She is BIG into Dora these days so for all of you who are familiar with Dora we had to check the map each time and figure out the 3 places we were going to visit.
