JimmyBo Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Since there is not much to do out here in Arizona, Cassie and I decided to go to the local zoo's here in Arizona. I grew up in San Diego so the Tucson and Phoenix Zoo's are pretty boring compared the the world famous San Diego Zoo. These zoo's however offer different things than the San Diego Zoo. The Tucson Zoo let's you get extremely clsoe to the animals and every time I have been there I have been able to see all the animals. The Phoenix Zoo had many different animals that I haven't seen at other zoo's. Anyway, Onto the pictures. First I got one of her and then I decided to take our picture together in front of the flamingos...... Cassie has always had her picture taken in front of these guys since she was a little girl Cassie and I decided to walk back over to the flamingos... To get the hell away from these guys. I would run too! Why did the turtle cross the road? Holy hell, it's Pumba! Big Mike says check out his roadshow because it could be coming to a park near you! Cassie's all "Hey look, it's Big Mike." This is how close you can get to the Rhinos...one jump and they can be on the pathway All the monkeys in Monkey Village are these cute little guys They this area called "Monkey Village" where it's like an aviary but with monkeys jumping around you and walking across your feet. Pretty cute Monkeys are funny. Why? Because they act like the Chris "The TPR Bitch" Here's a tiger...but still has a female with him (not shown) More of the "Africa Exhibit" Here's the Phoenix's Zoo "Africa Exhibit" Here's another cute little guy eating food Here's the mama thanking god she finally gave birth and doesn't have to carry around all that weight anymore The Prarie Dog mom had babies less than a month ago...here's one of the little guys Soaking up some rays and about to eat someones finger off Upon arrival we se snapping crazy swimming turtles chillin in the water Next up, the Phoenix Zoo...and it was only 105 that day by 11am. One last picture at the Tucson Zoo and I give you the world's largest rodent. No joke! Elissa will be proud. Jaguar sitting in the shade...he was hot Flamingos...more on these guys later... The otters were awesome and very amusing. Zebra's landscape...believe it or not but there is a parking lot and golf course just on the other side of that fence. Ebony and Ivory living together in complete CHAOS! Rhino Butt If you don't want that horn shoved up where the sun don't shine...then don't hop the fence...common sense Here is the "special" elephant. Every time I go to this Zoo he is dancing. I think he just keeps rocking out to some tune in his head. Dumb animal I'm just checking out Simba...great landscaping for a small zoo But the male and female lions are still together On a sad note, the female Tiger just recently died and the male Tiger has been roaring and moaning every day...I think he misses the female Hello Mr Tiger...you are very close. Can I pet you? Tiger...meow Cassie pushing a button to make a frog throw up nasty malaria water As you can tell, the locals love it. Since it gets extremely hot here in AZ, they decided to add a kids water play area last summer Anteater, voted the 2nd weirdest looking animal behind the duck-billed platypus At the Tucson Zoo they let you ride the back of the Polar Bear...pretty cool! Polar Bear? In Arizona? Yep...and he was hot The back end of a "special" giraffe I would hate to have to bend over like that every time I wanted a sip of beer...that would suck My sister decided to feed the giraffe, this was her reaction...classic! Hey Wes, this giraffe wants to lick you My sister decides to play turtle for the day Now that's a creepy animal! They donated this bench for her late Aunt Cassie sitting at her Nana's bench Here's a bear just chillin Park Map. Fairly small but you get up close and personal to the animals Reid Park Zoo, in Tucson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 For some reason the video is not uploading which is weird because I've uploaded many videos on this site. Anyway, I asked Cassie to marry me in front of the flamingos. She thought I was taking a picture but I actually put my camera on video and videotaped the whole thing. I think she was pretty surprised. We ate at Cheesecake Factory that night to celebrate...I'd say it was a pretty good day. The ring in it's box Cassie calling everyone she knows The ring... We're engaged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Psyclone Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Since there is not much to do out here in Arizona Ah, so that's what led to AZ's methamphetamine epidemic. Aside from that, good stuff, J.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Psyclone Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah, that was cute and all, Jimmy, but you're obviously not a Tom Leykis listener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 ^ You got that right but the family wanted a nice song with the video. I was about to throw in Sexyback or some of Dave's crazy death metal music but that probably wouldn't have gone over so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
