Zoo trip

The girls have a had a few days off of school this month so we decided to make a trip to the zoo. We had been having some nice weather that week so we figured that day would be nice too (Sometimes I forget how fickle the weather is in Colorado!). Well, it's started out brisk but sunny, but before we knew it he clouds were rolling in. We hurried along seeing all the main attractions, making it to the big indoor primate house, our last stop, as it began to rain. Besides being cold and a little wet, it was a great visit. Hadley was super excited about all the animals. So much in fact, that she became very offended when we wouldn't let her into the cages with the animals!







 Feeding the birds is always a great time...especially when we escape with out being pooped on!


 As we left the Zoo in the pouring rain,we decided to drive up to Will Roger's shrine, which is on the mountain behind the Zoo. We hadn't eaten our sack lunches yet since it was too wet and cold to eat them on the picnic benches, like we usually do on Zoo visits. While we sat in the car, eating, the rain cleared and the sun came out. We then had a great time exploring the "castle" as the kids like to call it. It has amazing views of Colorado Springs.
