Cheyenne Mountain Zoo



It's always so much fun when family comes to visit! John and Jamie Egbert and their 4 adorable kids came by this past Saturday and we all went to the zoo, along with a cousin of Jamie's who came down from Denver with her 3 kids. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is literally on the side of a mountain, so you have an amazing view of the city while you're walking around. I loved the cute meerkats and the pavilion where there were hundreds of small, colorful birds flying around and you could feed them seeds on a stick. The mountain lion liked the look of baby Kole and he came really close to the glass to check him out. Feeding the giraffes is always fun, too, but I wasn't able to get any good pictures to show their black tongues. There was a baby giraffe in the pen who was just born about a month ago. I'd been wanting to go back to the zoo for a really long time and it was great to be able to go with such a fun group!

It was so FUN! Thanks for being in charge of the pictures since I can't seem to remember to take my camera out of the car! It was so fun to see you guys and get a chance to visit for a day! Can't wait to do it again.
