Cheyenne Mt Zoo

On our last day we took the kids to Cheyenne Mt Zoo, the only mountain zoo in the United States. It was the coldest day of our trip so with all the walking it was pleasant. The best exhibit is the giraffes they come right up to you and eat our of your hand or in this case Mick's hand because, I was too chicken.

Plenty of room for him to run

For some reason Sydney was trying to look for the mountain lions that were right next to her.

Chipmunks were all over the place

and Brody finally found his bears!! Brody loves bears so, this was favorite thing at the zoo.

After a full morning of the zoo we decide to go back to Manitou Springs and get some lunch, walk around shop and eat some popcorn and lemonade.

We tried to soak in as much of the scenery as we could before heading to Ft. Carson so Brody could play at the playground. We finished off our night eating at a restaurant that had a bear theme, and  the food was great and Brody thought he was eating bear.

These stones and fools gold are all over the shops downtown.
