A Trip to the Zoo

We took the kids to the zoo on Sunday. We have the best zoo in my opinion. It's the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and for those of you who don't know it (which I think Cheryl may be the only one!) I recommend going there (or looking it up online for those of you who don't live here http://www.cmzoo.org/). They have made alot of changes to it over the last 5 yrs or so and I think they did a great job with the African Rift Valley! Anyways, here are some pictures from the trip!
