Beatrix announced, right before I took this picture, that she was giving up. On what? I still don’t know.
On April 10th, we rolled around the Denver Zoo.
The day was much cooler than the weatherpeoples predicted. Good thing I believe in layers.
The best thing about cooler days at the zoo is that the animals are more active. We watched this grizzly pace and scratch his back on a rock wall. Normally? He’s quite dull, even with those talons on his paws.
The anteater was jogging around the enclosure. Jogging.
These flamingos were still in their indoor winter home. We had to look at them through a window. Flamingos + Colorado = Complete Artifice. Still, they were beautiful and clearly love the shrimp dinners they get here.
Good day.
Wow!!! That looks like a fun day out… Ten stars to you for achieving that!!! Your kids are so cute, wide eyed and excited!!! Hope you have a great week!!!

Love the pictures and wish we could have enjoyed this with you. The elephant picture is great!
Anteaters are just so cute to me! Bizarre, I know.
Flamingos are beautiful. But the ones at our zoo STINK to high heaven!
I love cool days at the zoo, the animals are undeniably in higher spirits than in the dead heat. Actually, so am I!
I love the Denver Zoo. Looks like you had a great time!

Cool. Aidan looks so much like Lee’s sister in these photos (to me).
I’m headed to the zoo tomorrow! Your pictures are awesome.

So did any of the animals escape this time? lol I will never forget that! haha!
Ethan has been asking to go to the zoo… a lot. I should do something about that!
That elephant appears to be floating… Was it a statue? Looks like a lot of fun. I wish we had a zoo closer to our city.

Great photos! Looks like a fun day at the zoo. I need to make a zoo trip with my kids before the weather here turns from springtime pleasant to summertime oppressive.
And, oh my, look how big Mr. Archie is getting!
