Grandma Weekend

When Zack goes out of town, what better thing for us to do than head down to the Springs to spend a weekend with my mom and sisters!  Girls weekend!! We had good food, good talks, and great hang out time.

One morning, we went to an awesome park right next to Garden of the Gods.  It was also next to a little creek and hiking trail. 

Emmy was practicing pumping herself on the swing next to Grandma

 The next day, we went to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  WHAT AN AWESOME PLACE! I absolutely love this zoo.  Besides Emmy not feeling and acting her best, we had a great day.  It was nice and cool too, so we weren't burning hot.



 Feeding the giraffes lettuce is seriously the highlight of any outing.  It's hilarious watching their huge tongues grab the food right out of our hands.  They all loved it and were so brave.




 Emmy kept pulling her hand with food in it back, and giraffe followed it.  I love Nell's expression in these.



 Sisters are the best!

 This guy came right up to the window to say hello.
 There was a huge bridge around the elephant exhibit that overlooked all of Colorado Springs.  It was such an awesome view!
