Friday June 24, 2011:
Friday morning we had to pick up some visitors! Gigi and Grandpa came to visit and we decided to start our weekend off with our first trip to the Denver Zoo.
We got there when it opened at 9 and left just before noon. We had a great time seeing some animals, but we barely saw 1/4 of the zoo. It was heating up fast and we all had been up before dawn and decided we'll just have to come back another time. Here are some of the animals we saw.

| Peacock |

| Lana didn't want to get too close. |

| Alligator Turtle (found in Eastern US) |

| small turtles and fish |
Lana loved seeing all the animals, but she loves her big stuffed monkey even more. Grandpa got it for her at the gift shop before we went in and she held on to him every time she was in her stroller. When walking around monkey sat in the stroller to save her spot and Lana even fell asleep with her monkey, too cute.
We all felt this tired after a busy morning and headed for home to take naps. Everyone took a nap except for me, I was busy trying new cupcake recipes. Two chocolate recipes failed, finally one vanilla recipe worked. Baking in high altitude is really challenging.
