At the Zoo


While in Colorado, we went to the zoo. 

I really liked the giraffes, minus the giraffe tongue. Did you know that giraffes have incredibly long, black, slimy, sandpaper tongues? Neither did I. Till one licked me. 



I also enjoyed the bird sanctuary. There were hundreds of little green, yellow, and blue finches in a 15'x15' space. If I had seen the Hitchcock movie, it might have freaked me out more. Rae wouldn't let me put him down because the birds were zooming all around us.  


 He did let me strap him into a train with a little girl, though. I thought he might get upset leaving me on the sidelines. Nope. He found buttons. That's my toddler. 



Basically, 
Zoo = great experience. 

Maple Syrup Festival

  We went to the Maple Syrup Festival @Cunningham Falls State Park today. The weather was *gorgeous* and the crowds not horrifying.  We star...
