The Denver Zoo + some cute pics I found

Mike, Carson, & I purchased a Family Pass for the Denver Zoo this year. We plan to go a lot this Summer, and I have a few friends that also have passes so we will take the kiddos as well. It was so much fun to take Carson, even though he was much more interested in the trees and flowers than animals...Mike and I enjoyed it all!

Here is Carson enjoying his sippy cup and a ride around the zoo in his stroller
Who doesn't love hippos???

Carson and Mommy are looking at some pretty flowers right next to the very interesting Gorilla exhibit. When Mike and I were first dating, we went on a date to the zoo and I somehow ticked off the Daddy Gorilla. He punched the glass and flung poo around the room. It was not romantic, but quite a memory. He is still at the zoo, and I just never make eye contact with him :).

Carson just couldn't get enough of all the trees. Here he is on Daddy's shoulders soaking it all in:

It is just the simple things in life...we could go to a park and he will have the same thrills!!

I found these pics on my camera--they are some of the last pictures of Joe, Ryan, & Maryn Shellberg before they moved to Cleveland. Joe and I always used to play "hoops" in the basement. Here is Ryan and Joe shooting a few. We actually got rid of this basketball game a few weeks ago during the annual bulk trash pick up--we will replace it with a new fun toy!

Here is Maryn--Carson's first girlfriend. She is enjoying Carson's car!

Here is the cute couple playing with some toys and checking each other out (Carson especially)!!

Good times, Great friends!!
