On our 3rd day in Denver, we headed to Colorado Springs to the Cheyenne Mt. Zoo. It is literally a zoo in the mountains, and one of the best we have been to! The views, unbelievable, the animals, up close and personal, and probably the coolest Reptile house ever. Besides feeding giraffes, the kids had a wallaby leave its exhibit area to say hello, and they even touched a tarantula. We finished our visit with a ride on the "sky ride"--aka a ski lift that takes you up the mountain and over the whole zoo. The kids loved seeing the animal exhibits from the air. On the way back we stopped at the Garden of the Gods. The rock formations were unbelievable and left me breathless. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The kids really enjoyed exploring and climbing the rocks, while Scott and I couldn't stop taking pictures! I wished we had more time there, but after walking at the zoo all day in the mountains the kids were pooped. Again, thanks to Kristen for the suggestion! After naps in the car, the kids were ready to swim at the pool. I seriously think my kids could live in water...it was the perfect ending to a great day.

| The wallaby that seriously came right up to the kids. It was so cool! |

| This picture doesn't even begin to capture the beauty of this exhibit....all the reptiles were in glass with marbles, crystals, pottery, sand, just a unique twist instead of the usual dark lit reptile houses. I felt like I was in an art museum! |
