We went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo yesterday with the kids. Our thinking was that we would go early and beat the heat and the crowd... WRONG! I wanted to get there before they opened because I wanted Dakota to see the Giraffes come out of their house and go through the special draw bridge that they have. So, we got there and waited around for the Graffies to come out, while waiting every kid and their parents stood in front of Dakota and shoved her around. Now, don't get me wrong I know that it is a public place with lots of people. But, honestly how hard is it to say excuse me or sorry? Or, how about " hey... she was here first we are going to take our turn and wait for her to finish." But, I guess that is not something that parents are teaching their kids.... HOW SAD! I will get off my soap box.
While there Dakota got to feed the Giraffes, which she loved! She was scared at first but, I told her its just like feeding the cows at grampaws and grandmaws,then she had it down! Next up was this little chipmunk that was getting food that had been dropped on the ground. I guess he thought Dakota was going to feed him because he let her touch him. We were almost half was done when Dakota didn't want to walk anymore. So she got to ride on Daddy's shoulders!!! Yeah for daddys! They make little girls feel much better. She loved the Alligators.. Why I have no idea they were just laying there doing nothing... not even moving. But, that is Dakota for you. Logan and I had a lot of fun spending the day with the kids. We, don't get to do it every often and it was very nice.

Logan was showing her were the Giraffes were at.
She Loved This!
Ty was just enjoying being outside.
We were waiting for the Giraffes. That is the face Dakota make when you say "Say Cheese!"
She had just asked "Daddy, can I carry you?"
