Field Trip to Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona

Feb14

Today we took a field trip to Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona. It’s about a 30 minute drive from where we’re staying with friends in Mesa. Fiona was very brave and walked up to the Hole in the Rock and back down again. After we ate lunch, Fiona got to feed the birds in the pond. We went through a whole loaf of bread. She and Virgie then explored the outskirts of the pond.
