The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Yesterday was SUCH a wonderful day! AJ and I drove down to Colorado Springs to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We met up with a bunch of our friends; Holly and her kids, Heather and her kids and Ki and Dax. The zoo is about an hour away so thankfully AJ got a good nap. I had heard great things about this zoo, but I didn't realize just how awesome it would be! TOTALLY worth the drive.

AJ got to feed giraffe which was SO fun! He got to see so many animals up close- which at his age is nice. He saw a hippo, lions, zebra, a peacock, kangaroo, bears, snakes, frogs and SO much more! They have this awesome aviary that we went into and the birds were flying all around us. AJ couldn't stop giggling :) We even got to feed them!

Then we all sat on the grass and enjoyed a nice lunch. It was such a wonderful day with friends, great kids and an awesome zoo!

We will definitely be going back!

We FED this guy!

That looked like so much fun! I totally need a "girls day out" with my friends w/ kids. I've been cooped up at home a lot working on this album lately.

Hey so how did you like using that backpack instead of the stroller? We have one of those, and I never remember to use it. was your back paying for it later, or was it more convenient?

OMG...AJ did SOOOO well in the backpack! NEVER cried. It was 100% better than the stroller...(remember AJ hates the stroller!)
