Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

On June 6th the kids and I used our annual pass to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I love this zoo. The only zoo in the mountains. And by in the mountains, I mean it. It is quite the hike from exhibit to exhibit. David and I took the kids before he left and only made it to about 1/3 of the exhibits. This time I went with my neighbor Allie. Lots and lots of fun!

Here is Malia just chillin' in My Big Backyard...



Malia just hatched...



Me and the kids...



Malia feeding the goat... (its free!)



Malia feeding the giraffe... (3 crackers for $1)



Abram, Allie and the Albino



Malia feeding the Birds. I love this exhibit too. It cost $1 to buy the little stick with seed on it. There are birds EVERYWHERE!!



Abram and Allie checking out the birds. I love the "bird lady" with the bird on top of her head. She kept shouting "Watch where you are walking!". No joke, birds everywhere. People have stepped on them!



Here is Malia chasing down a little birdie. I think this might have been her favorite part. Although, she did keep asking to go see the hippo. Not sure why. They are quite possibly the most boring!



Malia and the Gorilla



This is one of the many things I will miss about not being in Colorado this year! I'm sure once David gets back we will renew our membership and have many family outings here. If you are ever in the area you should check it out!

We were actually just there two weeks ago. Totally a lot of fun, but such a hike. The kids really liked the lift to the top.
