The Denver Zoo

One of the last things we did when Phil's mom was here was take the kids to the Denver Zoo. Since we have moved we miss the Oakland Zoo terribly! If you have ever been to the Denver Zoo, it is quite impressive, and it is HUGE! Of course the day we pick to go it is about 100 degrees. There is a ton of walking. We had a good time but at the end we were trying to get out of there fast. Jackson was not really down with this. We were practically running by each exhibit and saying "there's the monkeys" and then 2 seconds later rushing to the bears. Not sure how much he saw in the end, but it was HOT!

The Oakland Zoo does not really have a big snake exhibit, but the Denver Zoo does. Jackson especially loved the poisonous snake exhibit. I hate snakes, I can barely handle the three tiny garter snakes in our back yard. SO you can imagine how hard it was for me to stay in the exhibit with him for so long. Luckily, it was inside and nice a cool.
