Denver Zoo

Monday we went to the zoo.  It was my birthday and I enjoyed spending it watching my kids experience something new.  We had to make Sean slow down a little and take in everything but he was very excited and it was hard to keep him back.  We took in a bird show which Mikayla and Sean absolutely loved!  We ran out of time and didn’t get to see the lizards and fish but those were the only items we missed.  I promised Sean we would come back another day and make sure to see the lizards and fish.  It will probably be a while because I don’t want to wear out our welcome at Uncle Jeff’s. 

The new sit stand stoller, it worked like a charm!

 My favorite animal

 She lasted all day and konked out right when we were getting ready to leave. 

 Sean wanted to see a crocodile but the zoo didn't have any.  On the way out we found one, Sean wasn't too impressed. 

Mom and Jeff had tickets to the ballgame Rockies vs. Braves this time.  Mom’s 3 favorite teams are the Dodgers, Rockies and Braves we chose to go this weekend because the Dodgers played and then the Braves right after.  The weather was more cooperative this night.  The kids and I hung out at the house.  We went and got cupcakes to celebrate my birthday and Sean sang Happy Birthday to me.  It was a great day!
