Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  It was so fun there!  I loved the giraffes.  They let you buy some lettuce to feed them, and the giraffes will come and put their heads over the fence and stick out their long tongue to eat it out of your hand.  Gracen loved it!  Brynlee didn't want it to lick her hand so she just watched.





When we ate lunch, a whole bunch of peacocks came hoping for some lunch for themselves.  They would just walk up and try to eat our food right out of our hands.  While the rest of us where finishing up, Gracen was trying to pet the peacocks.  They stayed just far enough ahead of him that he couldn't reach them.  It was funny to watch him tiptoeing behind them.

My sweet baby was enjoying the zoo too!

This zoo does lots of shows with the animals.  We went to see the grizzly bears just after they were done feeding them and doing some kind of show and the bears were diving in the water and playing with the fish.  It was awesome to see them being so active.  I didn't get any pictures cause the little viewing area was packed.  
We bought a zoo pass, so it will be fun to go back and see some more of the shows they do.  I've heard the hippo show is pretty great!
