Our Weekend!


Well this last weekend was pretty eventfull! On Saturday Jake went to work as usual and he got a phone call from his dad while he was out on the doors. His dad had just found out that there long time family friend, who was like another dad to jake, passed away from a massive heart attack. Chuck was young too, in his 50's and jake was really upset. He came home early and we just hung out trying to get his mind off it. On Sunday we went to church expecting to start our temple prep classes and the guy wasnt prepared at all cause he just got back from a vacation or something so were "supposed" to be starting the class this coming sunday! were really excited! Also this weekend me, jake and Zoe went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! It was kind of expensive for such a small Zoo (i'm comparing it to the only other Zoo ive been too, San Diego Zoo in California) but it was still cool! and it rained on us like the whole time! but there was enough trees and tents and stuff that we didnt get soaked. i cant wait till Zoe can be old enough to understand where we are and have fun! got a long way to go! but one of the coolest things we got to see was the grizzly bears! we got an upclose video of the bears swimming right on the other side of the glass, it was so cool! Here is the video of the grizzlies!


Also we got to feed the giraffes and i have never seen such crazy tongues! they were long and squirmy and slimy AND they used there tongues to pick there noses! anyways we got to ride a ski lift thing up to the top of the zoo and back down and we got to see so many animals. We got a picture of a hippo and a hippo skull (i think the hippo is one of the ugliest animals i've ever seen) but we also saw a mommy orangutang or something reading a newspaper to its baby, if you look closely you can see the baby laying in its lap. But some people seemed to enjoy looking at Zoe more than the animals. People were stopping us to gawk and take pictures and saw "aaaawwww" and two people asked to hold her......it got VERY old. but she did good and seemed to be happy! So here are the pictures from our trip to the Zoo... This Zoe before we went, we were getting her sunscreen on haha
