Denver Zoo

Mommy and Alexis ventured to the Denver Zoo on Friday. What an awesome zoo - we spent 5 hours there and did not even get to see all of the animals. Alexis' favorite was the zebra although she kept getting the zebra and the giraffe confused. We went up to the giraffe and she screamed - "Mama...look the zebra!!!!" We watched one show where we saw a huge cockroach, a crocodile, and a snake. She told the zookeeper that she has sees cockroaches in her house...I pointed out to the zookeeper that we just moved from Texas and then he understood. At the end of the show, we were allowed to pet the snake and Alexis walked right up, no fear and pet the snake...I was stunned. We also saw a sea lion show and afterwards she posed with the sea lion statue. The last show we saw was the elephants getting a bath - boy were they dirty - they liked to play with a rubber ducky, which was a wooden ball. Alexis also got to ride the Conservation Carousel - she rode a panda bear and a boar. At the gift shop, she picked out zoo pops - so now we get to make bear, monkey, elephant, and lion freeze pops with any kind of juice.
