The Colorado Springs Zoo

Lions and tigers and bears...oh my!! Just a side note...the day we decided to go to the zoo, it decided to snow. I was only in CO for one Saturday, we we decided to go anyway! The kids were cold...and we found out later that Ty had a dual ear infection...but the animals at the zoo were great! I have never been so close to the animals or seen them so active before. It was a great trip even if the kids cried most of the time!
The moose and us
Two major grizzly bears...just on the otherside of the glass....amazing!
Fishing inches away from us!
Yep, those are grizzly claws just on the other side of the glass!
Again, just on the other side of a piece of glass...a pride of lions. One actually got up, came over to the glass and got up on her back legs with her legs on the glass. Kinda scary since one of the glass panes was cracked....we didn't get very close. :)
The most amazing...the giraffes! And yes...we were THAT close!
There were SO many too!

In fact, my dad and Kassi paid $1 to get some crackers...and actually fed the giraffes! Look that that big long black tounge! It was pretty crazy cool.

In reverse order...but this is my dad, mom and little sister Laura with the kids heading into the zoo! If only the kids would have come OUT of the zoo this happy.
