A Dolphin at Pueblo Zoo????

Did you know there is a dolphin at the Pueblo Zoo? Today we went to the zoo with two other families we know. It was lots of fun. There are a few sculptures there that David loved to climb up, on and in. We were able to get a good family picture on the dolphin, as you can see.David had lots of fun "riding" the large rabbit named "Lola". He would ask to be put up on the rabbit and then he would grab the ears and hook his legs around the neck. Then he would slide back down and ask to be put back up again. In the farm animal area is the large egg the kids can crawl into. This is a picture of Angeline, Ben and David; aren't they cute! I think this was the most fun David has had at the zoo because we have been learning about the sounds animals make and so David would make those sounds at the animals he knew.

We have had a zoo pass for a few months now and go whenever we need to leave the valley or have a trip planned to Pueblo. Of all the times we have gone this was the most fun for everyone. We have always gone in the afternoon, but this time we went in the morning. The animals are much more active and voal in the morning than in the afternoon. For this trip we also bought food to feed the water fowl, sheep, and goats. David seemed to enjoy feeding the animals, he seemed to like feeding the waterfowl the best. For some reason David really wanted the ugly one to have food and kept throwing handful after handful to him. It was enjoyable to watch the penguins being fed because it wasn't so hot and crowded like in the afternoon. We had a great time today. If you ever need something fun to do just take a trip to your local zoo.
