Arizona - Chloe Meets Gelato

Arizona was awesome. My favorite town was called Fountain Hills. There was a really great restaurant called Euro Pizza Café. It had my favorite food – quesadillas, and right next store is a gelato shop. Most gelato shops import gelato, but at this gelato shop they make it right there. It's really good, and my favorite flavor was cookies and cream. There's also a fountain there. I guess that’s why they call it Fountain Hills. My favorite thing about Arizona was the gelato. My favorite memory was sitting at Euro Pizza Café watching the fountain go off.

There's a place called Four Corners. It’s called Four Corners because there are 4 different states connected right there. We went there, but it was closed because the monument was being fixed. We pretended that we were touching all four states. We put our hands and feet down in different areas of the ground.

The zoo we went to was great too. It was called Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium. I went on my first sky ride there. It was really fun. We went over a lot of cages, and we even saw a snake going into the deer cage. The log flume was short, but it was very fun as well. The brochure, which was kind of misleading, said the log flume had a three story drop, but it was more of a one story drop. There was also a boat and a train ride, but we didn't go on those. The petting zoo was the best part of the zoo because it was the first time I got to pet a deer. The baby deer was very soft. In the aquarium, you could also pet the stingrays, manta rays, and sharks. The most exciting animal was the baby lion. He was playing with the blanket, and there was also a baby leopard that was just a couple of days old. The baby leopard was so cute! It was curled up in a ball sleeping.
