Trip to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

The Saturday before I left Colorado Springs we all went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with some of Emily's family.  This is one of my favorite things to do in Colorado.  The weather was perfect and we had a very fun morning.  Thanks Emily for treating us!
Simon was too scared to sit on a horse.  
I got to accompany Kimball on the Merry-go-Round. (you notice the whole in Kimball's pants...I only point it out because it is really funny when he puts them on backwards and he tries to convince you its the right way.)

Kimball was a natural when he jumped into this kayak on display.  He grabbed the paddle, pushed out, and started paddling.  It was a riot. 
Kimball pretty much refuses to have his picture taken these days.  I have to tell him I will forget what he looks like if he doesn't let me, it worked the first time. 


Kimball was very excited about riding the train.
 He had to wait a few turns so he could ride in the engine. 

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has the largest display of giraffes I have ever heard of, easily 15.

Kimball was very excited about riding in Aunt Emily's van to the zoo, he parked himself in the driveway waiting for her to arrive.
