Denver Zoo

Since the weather had been so nice Amelia and I decided to venture up to the Denver Zoo. We were lucky enough to find a day that our friends were up there too. We had a great time and spent about 5 hours at the zoo on Wednesday.

When we got there and saw our friends, Amelia ran up to Alessandra, they always give each other a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then Amelia told her "Alessandra, I love you. It sure is nice to have a best friend."

We got to see the elephant show and ride the carousel and the train. Then we had a picnic and even some ice cream. Amelia especially loved the polar bears. We went to the cave to see them swimming under water. Amelia took probably 50 pictures while we were watching the bears swim. Not many of them were of the polar bear unfortunately. Instead, she preferred to take pictures of all the people watching the bears. I have like 15 pictures of stranger's children grinning and saying "cheese."


I am ready for my close-up

Our picnic spot, the monkey habitat (it was shady and quiet, what more could you ask for?)

I finally figured out how to make Amelia take a nap, make her walk around the zoo for 5 hours. She was asleep within 5 minutes.
