Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

We spent the weekend at Colorado Springs for the Rocky Mountain State Games. Since the kids will be stuck in the gym all Sunday, we figured we'll do stuff with them on Saturday. So, we left early Saturday to go to our favorite zoo - Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!!!

We really like this zoo because it's small and intimate and we can finish it all in 2 hrs!! There's also lots more interactive stuff to do like feeding the giraffes and budgies and if you're REALLY lucky the hippopotamus!! We weren't as lucky this time as the hippos weren't eating and the grizzlies weren't fighting!

Don't know about you, but i think feeding giraffe is SOOO cool.. just don't wear a straw hat!!!

Daddy, the tongue is getting me!!!!

I like feeding the baby ones

I can't get to the bird!!!

Birdie birdie.. eat eat..

Train rides

Carousel rides for good job eating!!!

We left shortly after lunch as the heat was getting a little crazy. The kids napped a little in the car and refused to go back to sleep after arriving at the hotel. So, while waiting for my pukey car seat cover to be washed and dried, i took the kids for a swim in the hotel pool. It was a nice opportunity for me to catch up on their swimming progress as i don't get to observe it during the week. :)
