Zoo Fun

This week, we were able to attend a members-only night at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Turns out, this is the perfect time to go! Very small crowd, after hours so nice and cool, and lots of extra learning and fun, with no money due!

We took along some friends' children and all four kids enjoyed the evening so much.  We were able to see an elephant demonstration. Elephants are super smart and we were able to learn that elephants purr loudly when happy! Lucky had a really loud purr when getting treats!

We walked around the new Africa exhibit mostly...elephants, lions and meerkats. We took a picnic dinner and ate near the monkeys, almost having to share our dinner with a pushy peacock. Ha

The kids rode the carousel twice and had their faces painted before we left. Alex chose to be a hawk, and Reagan chose a lion. A zoo worker even let them ride a golf cart and help him fill some misters to prepare for the next day.

What a wonderful evening we enjoyed! More members-only events coming this summer. We will be back!
