Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

We took a little trip out to Colorado Springs to say good bye to my brother & sister-in-law who were moving to Georgia, see our niece and her family, and to pick the little guy up from his dad.

We just had to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo while we were out there. Little Man has been to the zoo with his dad before, and talked it up a lot, so I really wanted to go while we were out there.

We had a good time at the zoo. We were very impressed with their exhibits, and how well you could see all the animals. Chris says he looks forward to going there next time he goes to visit his dad. I can't wait to go back either!
