02/15: The Denver Zoo

In our brief warm period between bouts of suck (and we have an "arctic blast" set to hit us on Monday or Tuesday), we decided to go to the zoo! It was a really great day to have gone - while it was a bit chilly early, it warmed up pretty fast, and was definitely the least crowded day we've gone!


Hyena being very cute.


And for once we were there at the right time to get to feed the lorikeets! You can buy a little paper cup full of "nectar" for them. It was toward the end of the feeding time, so lots of them were already full and didn't want to come interact. But this one decided to be Alex's best friend. It tried to chew on his ring, his bracelets... and his phone.
