As we pulled into the parking lot of the zoo, we realized that those yellow school buses we saw - they were also at the zoo. Apparently all of Denver's 1st grade classes also made their way to the zoo on that very same day. I was anticipating a zoo within the zoo but thankfully, we only ran into the nice (and well managed) 1st graders and chaperones.
The Denver Zoo is the best because they allow you to bring your own food into the zoo. Don't want to eat over-priced over-fried food? Fine, bring your own into the park and eat it. That was pretty cool!
We didn't manage to see everything the zoo had to offer. It is a large zoo with a new elephant exhibit opening up in June. Andrea thinks she may have another set of free tickets, so after it opens, we will head back over there to check it out.
Well, there really isn't much else to say about the zoo - only show lots and lots of animal pictures. And since they are a bit small, I'll try to let you know what they are (if I even remember what some are).
Mountain goats
Baby (and parents) gosling
White mountain goats
Elianna loves animals so this was so exciting for her! "Let's go see more animals!"
Our little family
Andrea and Sam
One monkey eating the bugs off the other monkey - eww!
There is a penguin in there somewhere
There he is!
Why you shouldn't climb a tree if chased by a bear
Just scratching his back
Just hanging out
How far down is the drop?
Phew! A little too far! Keep holding on!
What should I do next?
Guess I'll go sit and rock in my tree
-End of corny talking-
This monkey looked all innocent
And then he turned around ...
... and came at Sam. Good thing there was glass!
I don't have a clue what this animal is but he apparently is a vegan.
Some kind of monkey
It's hard to tell but this monkey was black with a white long handled mustache!
The baby monkey made me laugh. The daddy monkey is on the right side of the picture with his back to the people. The mommy monkey is laying there looking all tired while the baby monkey jumped all around and in general bugged his mom. So funny!
But just like my little monkey - even though he bugged her, every once in a while, he stopped and gave her a kiss. Totally worth it!
Hogs
Monkey
I didn't know flamingos had "pretty" tail feathers
There were 2 flamingos having a fight with each one having a buddy trying to hold the fighting one off. Did that make sense at all?
Penguins
Parrots
Not sure why but this little guy was hiding out
Cheetah
A peacock hiding in the bushes
Lioness
Lion
For some reason, the zebras were Elianna's favorite. She still talks about how they are her favorite. Crazy! Oh! And Chris and I decided that zebras are white with black stripes.
This camel looks like it was decapitated. Weird~~
The standing camel has some kind of mange going on. Weird~~
Porcupine
