Playing Hooky At the Zoo

Friday was relatively cool (only in the 70s!) so we took advantage and went to the zoo — and Daddy took the morning off and came with us!

Devyn said she wanted to start with the giraffes — but the line for the new attraction to feed them was so long, we decided not to waste our morning waiting for them. 

One of my favorite things to do at the Denver zoo is feed the lorikeets.  They're so cute! 

We had a picnic lunch (pretty good barbeque from a zoo restaurant!) and then Daddy had to go to work. After we said goodbye to him, Devyn and I took a spin on the carousel. 

We checked out a few more animals, played in the play area, and then, literally as we were walking to the exit, we saw they were feeding the giraffes again — and there was almost no line.

Excellent.
