A Day In Denver

I had an errand to run in Denver today so Addy and I made a day of it. We joined Daddy for lunch and then we headed to the zoo.

After checking out the lions we made a beeline for the elephants, one of Addy's favorites. As soon as we arrived one of the elephants came out to say high. When he saw Addy he stuck his head back inside the indoor pen to announce Addy's arrival. Well the indoor pen is concrete and metal and loud when an elephant decides to let out a call of the wild. Addy jumped right out of her little Elmo shoes and seriously contemplated crying. She had never heard an elephant talk before. The rest of the day she kept repeating "elephant talk" and "elephant loud". At dinner she just kept looking at me and saying over and over and over "elephant loud"!

For a good portion of our tour we had a peacock tour guide. It was a great way to get Addy to move along, I just had to say "where's the blue birdie" and off she would go after him. After a will he got bored with us and ducked into the buffalo pen.

Look at that!

This one was my favorite. A baby red panda.

It was a beautiful day to go to the zoo and this may be that last warm day we see for awhile. Bring on the snow!
