Colorado Day 3: Part 2

Posted on

 

Things have been really busy and I’ve gotten so behind on blogging.  Well the second part of day three for our spring break in Colorado started with lunch.  There is a park between the museum and the zoo.  We had packed a lunch and decided to eat at the park.  It’s still early in the season so there were no picnic benches.  Preston wasn’t keen about sitting on the ground.  He had determined that the ground was covered in goose poo.  Luckily Nammi had brought a table cloth and had the kids sit on that.  There was a sprinkler on next to us that sometimes seemed to creep up on us.  We ended up moving a few feet so we wouldn’t end up with a shower.  There were, however, some kids playing in the sprinkler.  I was proud my kids resisted the urge to run through it.

After Lunch we walked over to the Denver Zoo.  It’s a lot bigger then our own zoo here in Idaho Falls.  There are so many pictures but I think I’ll have to cut it down to just a few to show you.  We got there around 1:00 in the afternoon.  Just in time for it to really heat up.  I was really thankful I brought the kids some water.  Corey carried Sophia just about the whole time.  When there was a big crowd Levi had the best seat in the house on top of Nampa’s head.  We spent about 5 1/2 hours at the zoo.  By the end we were all tuckered out.  We ended our day with a dinner out at some fancy Italian restaurant.   Needless to say on our way home we had 3 sleeping kids.

One of my favorite exhibits. The giraffes.
