Madeline knows her animals and the sounds that they make so well for a 2 year old. After seeing her excitement at the Atlanta Aquarium earlier this month I knew that she would get such a kick out of visiting the animals at the zoo. After doing a quick 2 year old photo shoot at Monument Valley Park we headed over to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The first thing we did was go straight to the Giraffe exhibit so we could feed them. There were a few other people there as well feeding the giraffes. This sweet lady lifted Madeline up and gave her some of their lettuce so she could feed the giraffe. Madeline was all on board until the giraffe came too close to her. She wasn't having it after that. Still, I bought some lettuce just in case. I ended up feeding the giraffes but Madeline loved looking at them as long as they didn't get too close.
After the giraffes we walked past the zebras and lions. The lion was sleeping in the lion house so we didn't spend too long there and instead headed to the Elephant area. She LOVED seeing the elephants. The elephants are probably one of Madeline's favorite animals. She loved watching them get the hay from the barrels and put it in their mouth with their trunks. After that we saw the alligators, snakes, and kangaroos and eventually we made it to the see the tiger and bear. She LOVED both of those big animals. They were both very active which made it fun to watch them. As we were making our way back to the entrance of the zoo we passed by a turkey and heard it gobble gobble. For some crazy reason Madeline just loved that turkey and wanted to go back up the hill to see it. It was so funny that of all the animals, she seemed to be the most excited by the turkey. Go figure.
