Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

We took a trip down to Colorado Springs today to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to celebrate Mike's birthday. It's a small zoo, but unique because it's on a mountain side with great views. Plus, it has a wonderful exhibit where you can feed the giraffes, or "iraffes" as Jack says. He can't quite get the g-sound yet. Here's a video and some pictures. The giraffes were everyone's favorite animal today!







 We did see some other animals too, of course. Jack still likes "elphies" too...



 We had to make two visits to the giraffes...

Jack's second favorite exhibit today....one with a whole different kind of animal. They are building a new elephant habitat, which is still under construction, but we had to stand and watch the tractors forever! 

 It was a very fun day overall. Happy Birthday Mike!

    I'm with Jack there - tractors are more fun! What a great day to spend together.
