Zoo Lights

On Saturday, we headed down to the Denver area just to get out of town. We met our friends Heather and Kevin for some lunch at Flat Irons, then shopped a little and then headed to the Denver Zoo for the Zoo Lights. We were pleasantly surprised at how well Avery did since we left the house at 10:30am and did not get back until 9:00pm!

The Zoo Lights were well worth the drive and money to get in (only $14 total since Avery was free). There weren't as many animals out as usual obviously, and it was quite cold so I'm sure many of them were content to stay warm in their shelter. We did see elephants, tigers, hippos (pictured below), giraffes, a polar bear, snow leopards and a couple animals I can't remember. Avery barked at all the animals, since I think now that she knows a dog is an animal she thinks all animals are dogs! Ha Ha :) She's just too darn cute....we're thinking about keeping her. :) She had a great time looking at all the lights and seeing the animals. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and then headed back up to Cheyenne. Of course on the ride home our pooped out little munchkin took a good snooze and went straight to bed when we got home.
