Now, these photos were taken at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado and it's one of the zoos where you can get up close to a Giraffe and actually feed them. Well, that's a whole other story.

We saw quite a bit of snakes which I was very much afraid to go near even though they were in glass cases. Because a lot of people don't like snakes I am going to hold off on those photos. See I can be nice at times.

The best part of visiting the zoo is going to the gift shop before you leave. With so many choices how can you resist getting a new friend to take home?

I had a really fun day at the zoo and mommy promises that we'll get to go to the Denver Zoo this summer and I am so going to keep her to that.
Do you enjoy visiting your local zoo?
