Zoo Baby!!!

The other day we were fortunate enough to join Gigi, Sam and Joey at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. What a wonderful zoo. There were so many different close-up animal experiences for us all to enjoy. Here is Abby and her Daddy feeding a giraffe. This zoo has one of the largest herds of giraffes that are always hungry and ready to be fed. It was so cool. I got to scratch one behind his ears!

Here is Lissie enjoying her cousins hat in the shade. She also got to pet the giraffe but Mommy was holding her and the camera so no pictures....next time.
Of course, Abby had to ride the carousel. It was one of the fastest we've ever been on. I could barely hold on.
Abby's first PONY ride!!!!!!!!!!! She was such a pro. She got on with ease and even kept leaning over her saddle to pet Sunny on the neck. I couldn't have been prouder of her first experience. Lets sign her up for show jumping!

Here are all of the kiddos relaxing on a little chair in the kiddie playground. They also got to play with roosters and pet bunnies.

Daddy and Lissie enjoying some cuddle time. Aren't they cute?

Here is Abby feeding a budgie in the Budgie Buddy area. It was so cool to have the birds land on the stick so that we could get up close and personal.

Lissie also got up close and personal. So much so that she got bitten by her budgie. She wasn't at all phased by it though and proceeded to try and touch all of the others that came to see us.

It really was a fantastic time at the zoo and such a unique zoo. We ran out of time and didn't get to see the whole thing but rest assured, we will be back.
