spring at the zoo

We spent a 'nice' morning at the zoo.... The weather was perfect, low 80s, a slight breeze, excited kids.  They have a great sand/river area for kids to play. Jace was ok in the sand, but was petrified of the water. Brenna was petrified of both. She was shaking. She mentioned some fears about other animals coming to the water, we assured her that no other animals were allowed in this area. I finally got her to sit on the rock and throw some sand. Of course, by then it was time for lunch soooooo, it was a bust. Nick and I were shocked. Hopefully next time we'll remember to bring the water shoes and that will help. 

You can see how tense her little body was. 


We recovered with an awesome lunch spot...right in front of the squirrel monkeys. It was nearly a private viewing! It was perfectly shaded (as long as Nick kept moving with the shade) We all enjoyed!



The best part of the day was the 2 mile train ride around Breckenridge park. There were bridges, there was a tunnel, road crossings, lots of 'toot toot,' shade... kids loved it. 




Jace had a whole lot to say at lunch!
