We had our first taste of the zoo here in Colorado Springs. We LOVED it. Ok so I have an unofficial bucket list. And one of the things i wanted to do was to get to pet and "interact" with a giraffe! I just love those amazingly beautiful animals. I was quite in heaven. The giraffes were almost fighting over us to get the lettuce. So I gotto pet lots of them!
We went to breakfast before. Forget Josan's fingers being a little too adventurous, look at the baby's face. Kaylee is IN LOVE with Josan (or Adam. they both look exactly the same. Josan's more her size is all really) and stares at him as much as she possibly can! it's adorable!
Giraffes have HUGE tongues. Josan didnt love the slimmy long tongues, but he still liked feeding them. It was awesome!
Josan and Jack get along so well. We're so glad to have this little body 5 minutes away from us
The Clarks on the lift they have at the zoo. It's a super fun ride. adam got pretty sweaty. But everybody else just loved it!
That's the view we had from up there. It was amazing
They had a little gym playset too where the kids could play. I guess the only monkeys were not behind glass!:)
And that's on our way down the lift. Josan was very good at listening to us. He knew that this was a big deal if he didnt obey.
For memorial day we were supposed to drive back to Utah to see everybody. But I think the most of "everybody" we would have seen is the pictures on their walls! hahaha. Lots of people were busy this weekend, so we decided that we might as well just stay here and enjoy our 3 days weekend at home. Our friends Steve and Laura invited us over for a tasty bbq and our neighbors/friends the Lakes tagged along. it was super laid back. But we had lots of fun too.
When we first moved here we were very sad and worried that we would miss our friends from utah all the time and not have anybody close like them here. Although we DO miss our forever friends, we are so very lucky to have people around us (or that share a wall even!) to hang out and have fun. Anyways, all that to say that our memorial weekend was really fun. We're planning a trip to Utah soon; for Adam's bday or the fourth of July maybe? Not sure!
It doesnt look like it but the kids WERE very happy and excited to have a movie party up in Josan's bedroom. They had treats, blankets and a good movie
Those kids have such good daddys! They played with them and tired them up good! :)
The kids play so good together! Josan has some awesome friends that's for sure!
HEre's the ladies. I had to drag Suzanne and Laura but Cady and Kaylee came for the picture without a fuss! :)
Isnt she one of the prettiest little girl in the world? She's such a good baby!
The kids were fascinated by Steve's stories. I've never seen josan sit like this for a story. Steve sure knows how to keep his public's attention!
To next BBQ guys?
