Arizona Trip

The Arizona part of my trip involved the zoo, hikes, horseback riding, hanging out, and helping out. The Phoenix Zoo had a dinosaurs exhibit, with animatronic recreations of what some ancient critters might have looked like. That was a cool addition to their usual stuff. I went on some walks/hikes with lots of wildflowers due to all of the unusual winter rains. Mostly the trip was hanging out and helping people out with various tasks.
