Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Day

Our family visited the zoo in the fall of 2016, so of course, we needed to recreate the cousin picture!
We love this zoo and the animals showed off for us.  Upon entering, we were given coins to support the conservation of different animals.....of course, Evan put all of his in the Panama frog one.

The giraffe exhibit is always fun, as you get really close to the giraffes and can feed them.

The penguins and the hippos really showed off for us....we had excellent timing of several feedings.  We saw a sloth and a snake being fed.
I didn't take many pictures because it was just fun to see the cousins interacting with each other.  It was a really fun day!
After the zoo, our family headed into downtown Colorado Springs for coffee.....found a cute little coffee shop and the grand opening of a special alleyway.
We went to the Aichele's for dinner, and the snow started.  It was dicey getting back to the house we are staying at because Colorado doesn't salt their roads and plowing is sparse because snow doesn't stay long.  We woke up to a good amount of snow on the ground this morning, so we are waiting to see what our day looks like.
