Things to do in Phoenix Part 3

16. The Women's Expo in downtown Phoenix. I went on Saturday to cheer on Kaylee who was calling the Dillard's fashion show. Coolest job ever right? Well, she rocked it. The expo had over 500 booths and some inspirational speakers. So it was well worth the drive!
 
 17. Park dates. Our friends and us get together quite often and going to the park is one of our favorite things to do. Saturday we got together and played 2 games of kickball, 2 games of volleyball, 1 game of ultimate Frisbee, 3 games of bocce ball and a game of buck buck (which Conrad and I played in college and it actually dates back to the 1500's:) Its like the best game in the world and you can read about it here.
 18. Gilbert Splash pad. For being such a cool city the spray parks here are pretty darn lame. But its fun to get out and about with the babes.

19. Freestone park. This park is crazy huge and has everything including a train that you can ride, batting cages, tennis, baseball, etc. I didn't get a picture of anyone batting and had to steal this pic from Kaylee so thanks K!!

20. Region 7 Arabian Horse Show. I talked about the National Horse show a while back and that is a much bigger and fancier show. This was still fun to go to and let the girls experience it on a much smaller scale. It was free the whole week and I think on Saturday they had a horse sculpture that kids could paint and they even let them ride a horse. So we will go back again next year. Thanks Karen for the invite!
 The horse they are petting is a National Champion.  (Mossimo)
