The Pueblo Zoo

Visting the ZooAly, Kylee, Mommy and Daddy spent Sunday morning at the Zoo. The Girls had a blast. The weather was perfect and the animals were active. Lots to explore--spent more time watching the girls rather than shooting pictures--so here is a small sampling of the morning!

Tipi - similar to those lived in by native american Indians in CO!!

Kylee getting some air just outside the TIPI!!

Aly--trying to hug Kylee!! It did not go over very well!!!

Aly playing in the spiderweb!!

The Otters were a blast. The Zoo keeper hid the food and placed some in suet containers to make the otters "work" and search for their food to more resemble what they would need to do in the wild. The girls thought this was great. We spent quite some time watching the busy hungry otters!!!


The Rainforest room was fun too--Kylee thought otherwise. She could do without the stench!! We thought she was going to lose breakfast!! But she held on!! The turtles, sloths, exotic birds, blue frogs, and pirhanas were great!! Then we watched the penquins--but they were surprisingly docile--just playing with the Zoo keeper who was cleaning the cage!!


The rest of the pictures just show some fun times with Daddy and the Sculptures. But we did see lots of other animals--A Sun bear, some singing monkeys, A lion, kangaroos, emus, maned wolf, ducks, lemurs, bats, Snapping Alligator turtle, python, pigs, camels, goats, naked rats, meerkats, etc. etc. etc. we all had fun relaxing together!!
