This was the best zoo we've ever been to - Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. It was Monday, August 12, 2019.
The scenery was amazing too.
First up were the giraffes.
A BABY!!!
We spent the money to buy lettuce to feed them.
Meerkats! "Dig a tunnel, dig, dig a tunnel!"
Elephants!
We felt so lucky that day. We actually saw an elephant submerging and washing itself!
Lunch time.
There were some elephant games like this one. The littles also painted.
Our lunch area overlooked the lion enclosure.
Parakeets.
Alligators.
Again luck struck and we saw the bears swimming in the water.
In fact, the bear in the water was sitting on the drain which caused all this water to come out of their tank. The peacock was just walking around outside the bear enclosure.
Bald eagles I think?
Sloth?
Monkeys.
Indoor giraffes.
More lions. They're our favorite.
All done.
The following day we left but stopped at Krispy Kreme first.
They gave us free donuts right off the line! We also bought some. The kids still remember this fondly a year and a half later.
I had a video all prepped but it's not working anymore. Bummer.
