The Zoo

Well, we went to the zoo. The End. Haha Just kidding!! Let me start by saying that we had to wait for a half hour to park! Seriously! I guess it is spring break, and it was 66 degrees, so justifiably EVERYONE and there dog wanted to be outside.




After the parking fiasco, we met up with friends at the giraffe exhibit. Say what you will about the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, but that has to be the coolest giraffe exhibit ever. Zoey and Liam could spend hours there feeding those giraffes crackers. I bet I spent 15 bucks on those glorified wheat thins. It was worth it. Every time one of those nasty long black tongues would get near Liam he would squeal in delight, and then grab the giraffes tongue. He had great fun. The giraffe just looked at him like, 'What are ya doin', kid?' Zoey loved to feed them too! We had a great time. Damon ditched out on work, and waited in the long line to park, and came and met us there.

After a long day of giraffe feeding, monkey seeing, playing on playgrounds, people watching (one of my favorite pastimes, you get the wierdest people at the zoo. Sometimes I think it rivals a state fair...) and visiting what I fondly refer to as 'the bird cage from hell', we called it a day. As you can see from the pictures, we had a great time. Although I still smell like the zoo....

THe bird house is gross and frustraiting and smelly but the rest of the zoo is great! Now you need to go to Santa's workshop (people watching there is good too).
