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?
Wow, you guys got to see lots of awesome animals at the zoo! My boys love the zoo, too!
ReplyDelete;) So jealous that zoo looks amazing! The pic of your daughter and the Wallaby so adorable! Looks like you both had a wonderful time, wish I were there right now!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great visit. Wonderful place.
ReplyDeletewow you have a great selection of animals at your zoo, ours does not have elephants and giraffes. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteYour mommy is really brave! Giraffe tongues creep me out haha. That was very nice of the stranger to take a pic of you and your mommy too. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWow these pictures turned out great! Looks like y'all had a fun day!
ReplyDeleteEven before I saw your caption, I thought of Tamara with that moose and made me smile indeed with the shoutout. Looked like a fun day and we are thinking of taking the girls to the Bronx Zoo here soon as they have only been the the Queens Zoo, which was a bit smaller scale for them when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is she? and looks like you guys had so much fun at the zoo. my kids love seeing any kind of animal in real life.
ReplyDeleteYou take beautiful pics - they are crystal clear! We love to visit the zoo!
ReplyDeleteTotal stranger took a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteAnd the moose. The moose! I hope to one day go to that exact zoo with you two.
Thank you.
When my kids were younger we used to love going to the zoo! We haven't been in quite a while, so it was nice to see it through your eyes :) What a wonderful day it looks like you had!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed looking at all these pictures! I really thought that was a real elephant! Wow! This is a beautiful zoo and I can't believe how close you got to all of them!
ReplyDeleteYour Daughter Is Adorable Looks Like She Had A Fun Day Thank You For Sharing!1
ReplyDeleteHow cool! We love going to the zoos, and this one looks like a great one to visit.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful and you got so many fantastic pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a fun day at the zoo! What great pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love to feed a giraffe. My son is quick to point out that their tongues are dark to protect them from the sun. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun Madison! I love your beads, and outfit!
ReplyDeleteI like your hair Madison! And good to know you had so much fun at the zoo! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Looks like you had a great time at the zoo!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Looks like a great zoo!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these photos! Looks like you had a wonderful time :)
ReplyDeleteYou got some great up-close photos of the animals! I'm not sure I'd be too keen on a close-up with the giraffes either.
ReplyDeleteYou got some awesome pictures Madison and my favorite is the one with you and mommy together. I got to see her a few weeks ago and miss her already. Maybe I'll be able to take you to the Bronx Zoo when you visit. 💜
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your baby had such a wonderful time. I now want to go to our local zoo after seeing your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't make it up to the Grizzly Bears- you've got to go up there! I really love our zoo. We are there a lot!
