The sun was finally shining and we were able to head to the zoo. Let's hope we've seen our last snow fall for the season, but this is Colorado so I should bite my tongue. We haven't see the Carlson crew in a while and we were lucky enough to have them join us. Unfortunately Jack was battling an ear infection and not feeling so hot so they had to cut their trip short. The girls were glad to see their friends Jack and Ben if only for a short time.
While I was getting ready, Daddy set the girls up with a living room/carpet picnic for breakfast. They got toast and berries which are a big hit and well, eating on the floor - what's not to love?
There's a new baby giraffe at the Denver zoo. He was 6 foot 4 inches at birth. To a shortie like me this is a bit of a slap in the face.
Gwyneth was excited to see the baby giraffe. You can also see poor Jack in the background. Poor little guy didn't want to walk around the zoo, but Ben was very happy to check out the sites. 
The Adventure of the Wagon Puller and the Surprise Peacock....
Annabelle loves to pull the wagon. She may be small, but she's strong. She'll pull her little sister around the zoo all day long. She never wants to ride, only pull. Heck, if Gwyneth is walking, she'll pull the empty wagon. So, Annabelle set off pulling the wagon and was eager to find some animals.
Little did she know she was being stalked by this guy and was going to see an animal up close and personal!
The peacock walked right up to her to say hello and she freaked. She was on a mission and didn't really see it coming, but she always is not a big fan of any animals right in her face. Her screams echoed across the zoo!! Miss Annabelle stayed a little closer to me and her daddy the rest of the day.
Ben joined Gwyneth in the wagon for a bit, B pulled, and Annabelle stayed very close - at least until she was sure she was away from that pesky peacock. (I love this shot of Gwyneth's little eyes peeking back at me).
Annabelle and Jack checking out the lizards. Jennifer pointed out that even on her little tip toes, Jack is still taller than Annabelle!
Annabelle, Gwyneth and Ben checking out the fish. I accept that I can only get pictures of the back of their heads at the zoo. There's no getting them to turn around for pictures. (Gotta love Gwyneth's dress being tucked in to her jacket showing off her tush - oh, G!)
The Carlsons had to head home but we stuck around to see the elephants, ride the carousel and the train. Gwyneth was very proud of her train token.
