Day 2- Excuse me. Mr. Giraffe? You're blocking my sun

Day two of our not in Mexico vacation we set off for Colorado Springs to see my sisters newly remodeled house and to go to the Zoo. Katie has just recently purchased her first home and has done some major remodeling to it. Not a single room was left untouched. Ava took it upon herself to check the durability of the new carpet, making sure it holds up to baby drool.
After picking up Katie we all headed to the Zoo.


Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a neat place for many reasons. 1- because it's nestled in the mountains making it a little cooler on a hot summers day and 2- You can get up close and personal with the Giraffes. Very cool to be that close to them.
Ava is still very young so I didn't know if she would "get" the zoo. But she loved every second of it! She was so engaged and interested in every animal we saw.

But soon the sun took its toll on a little girl and while we stopped for lunch Ava went down for the count.But she caught her second wind just in time to finish the last half of the zoo and take a ride on her first carousel.She loved sitting on the horse, and even snuck in a little taste of the bar but once it started it went so fast that even I was a little scared! I could barely hold her on the horse with it spinning at warp speed so I had to hold her for most of the ride.
