Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

If you want to see all the pictures - take your time, there's a LOT!



Although nothing will ever compare to the San Diego Zoo, we decided to check out the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which is only about 15 minutes from our house. Despite my reservations and the anticipation of great disappointment, we actually had a GREAT time! Olivia got to feed the giraffes and we saw some bears 'playing' (see videos below), which was SO cool!! Cole slept through half of it and we did have to dodge a little rain during the day, but for the most part it was gorgeous - and we even made it to the top of the Mountaineer Sky Ride (basically a 'renamed' ski lift) that took us to a summit where there were some great views of Colorado Springs! We made it down off the mountain just before the BIG thunderstorm hit! It was an awesome day!

**Be sure to pause the music to hear the videos**
(and be patient - it takes time to load - first video is 19 secs and the second is 24 secs)


Olivia and Mommy feeding the Giraffes - but I think Gary 'turned the camera' so I hope you are able to get the idea. :)
