Aaron drills the second weekend of the month. While he was drill this month, the kids and I went to the zoo. The zoo here is much bigger than the zoo in Greenville. We saw a lot of very neat animals. Caleb loved seeing the giraffes and camels. Campbell though the camels were ugly and smelly. They are different kids.
We got to see wolves, buffalo, wild horses, and the regular zoo animals. The kids enjoyed their day at the zoo. The day started out nice and warm but cooled off after lunch. Because of that, we didn't stay and hang out as long as we had wanted to in the afternoon. We will be going back, though. I'm thinking that yearly passes are in order.
This last weekend the entire family was able to go to the Denver Botanic Gardens. There was not much in bloom, but with temperatures in the upper 60's we wanted to do something outside. We did see a few bulbs in bloom and they were pretty. They had a really neat tropical display that we went throught. There was also a nice cactus display. My favorite was the Japanese garden. Even without flowers in bloom, this garden was so beautiful. As we were leaving we discovered that it was a free day at the gardens so we were able to get our fee back. That was even better!
We can't wait to go back to the gardens later in the spring. So many of the gardens are going to be gorgeous when the plants come up and the flowers bloom. Even withouth flowers in bloom, we spent two hours walking around. When the flowers are there I am thinking a picnic will be involved.
Those are the two big adventures we have taken so far. We plan on more and we will keep you informed on our fun.
