A Kid-Friendly Zoo

We took a trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo when my parents were in town.  Nick hadn't ever been to this zoo, and Michelle and the kids always enjoy it, so it seemed like a fun activity to do with grandma in tow. 

This zoo has so many hands-on, up-close experiences for the kids.  The biggest adventure at the zoo is seeing the giraffes.  The exhibit puts you at eye-level with the giraffes, instead of the traditional "looking up" at them idea.  So while you're at eye-level with the giraffes, you may as well feed them! 

The zoo also has a brand new elephant exhibit which is pretty cool.  The last time the kids and I were there we didn't get to see the elephants.  But Cayle and Lindy really enjoyed them this time!

 Cayle got to pet a baby marsupial.  It was 7 months old and soooo small!

 The kids' first time to have Dippin' Dots.  Cayle loves being a big brother :)

 Ha ha, this was hilarious.  Mom got stuck behind a big peacock!
