Last Day

THE LAST DAY!

Well for the last day of our "Stay Cation" we headed up to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the first thing that i thought was odd was why was there a zoo in the middle of a massive golf course subdivision.  Looking at the houses I could tell it was an expensive neighborhood, I stopped and picked up a flyer for a "LOT" that was for sale, amazing that for $975,000.00 you can have 1.3 acres and that's it! No house no nothing..  Anyway on to the journey thru the zoo.  Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is known for having the largest display of Giraffes and there was no disappointment there!  The Kids really enjoyed feeding the Giraffes crackers, and they even got to pet them a few times.

This little guy was so CUTE!

No Shortage of cool looking Birds as well

There was lot's of cool stuff for the kids to play on also, they had fun exploring and of course they couldn't stand the smell around the monkeys.  Im always amazed at the fact they put them indoors and they are the most fowl smelling animals in the Zoo.

After playing around on all the toys I decided to give the Kids a High 5 for being so good!!

Of course right before this my wife was trying to be a monkey!!

After Shelley got done Making Monkey noises we headed back down the mountain to take the "SKY RIDE", for thoose of you that know my wife she is not big on Heights and is a little scared of them, she did very good during our trip and I think she concurred some of her fears of heights.  The Sky ride takes you all the way up to the top of the park on a ski lift.  I couldn't pass up the opertunity to show off my rock wall climbing skills.

 After we got of the sky ride we headed over to say good bye to the Giraffe's and I captured this little guy making a pig of himself on berries!!

  After that we also drove up to the shrine of Will Rodgers the view is simply amazing!!

Our trip was very relaxing and we enjoyed ourselves, the kids were very good and minus the fact that no matter what time we put them to bed or how much they ran they never slept in past 6am on any morning.  Also most days Dylan never took a nap, Seanna perfected the art of sleeping in the car during our adventures road trips.  We ended the journey home With a quick stop at JB's for dinner and then a countdown of miles to home!!  Everyone was ready for some much needed sleep... This guy needed some also :)
