ZOO!

This Saturday we attended the Denver Zoo in honor of all our kids birthdays. It was a beautiful day. We got there at about 9 am and the weather was perfect. Sunny, but not too hot. The kids had such a good time. Here's some highlights:
My bears; Matt, Aaron and Caleb.

Aaron, Jordan and Caleb watching the monkeys.

Mr. Monkey.



Kellie, Julie, Aaron and Caleb with the statue of Klondike and Snow. (two polar bear twins that were born at the Denver Zoo. )

Aunt Melanie trying to point out the sleeping wolves to Caleb.

The baby Zebra.

The Sea Lion. (or is it a seal? I'm not sure!)


Baby Giraffe.


Kellie trying to get free from her "cage".



We ended our trip with a ride on the Zoo train. Caleb was so excited!


All aboard!


Back at Grandma and Granpa J's house we enjoyed cupcakes that Grandma had decorated with zoo animals. So cute!


Here they are!


Enjoying our cake!

Kellie got some necklaces to open even though her birthday is not officially until next month.



The boys opening their gifts.

Thanks for the books and movies from Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Melanie and Uncle Jordan! You really helped make the day special!

It looks like you had a great time at the zoo Saturday. The weather was fantastic. I even remember telling my mom that it was a beautiful day to be at the zoo. I'm glad it cooperated with you. I love how you used the metaphor of Kellie's stroller as her cage, too cute! It looks like it was a great day! Great post!
