Going to the Zoo

A few weeks ago, we went to Colorado to visit family. We usually go every year or two. This year we done some things we have never done before. One day we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. This zoo is on the side of the Rocky Mountains. Luckily, it wasn't a huge zoo since its on the side of a mountain and there are a lot of big hills to walk up. The highlight of the trip were the Giraffes. There was a little booth set up where you could get crackers and feed the long-necked animals. We figured Kaitlyn would love to feed them. We had no idea how much fun she would have. Here are some pictures from the zoo, and a video.



Here is Kaitlyn sitting in a dinosaur egg.


This peacock was nice enough to show us its feathers.

The giraffe really had to work for its food. Kaitlyn did not want to let go of the crackers.


After seeing the giraffes, she got to take one home with her. No, not a real one. Where would we put it?


Two tired girls.


Family moment.


Kaitlyn is ready to see more animals.


This big guy walked right up to the glass to check us out.

Kaitlyn was ready to stretch her legs.


We went back to the giraffes before we left.




Who knew they has such long tongues.


Kaitlyn was too excited to look at the camera.
