Zoo Fun

This weekend Chris and I decided to head to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for the afternoon.  As always, it was a good time.  I always feel like you get so much closer to animals there, and get to pet a lot as well.  This time around I pet giraffes and even a skunk!  And I must say, to my surprise the skunk was so stinkin' cute (no pun intended!)  The zoo had lots of babies right now, I loved it! We also road the ski lift up to the mountain top (something we have done once before, back in 2009).  It definitely is a great view up there (even though it was super windy!)

The tiger came right up to the fence!

 

This hippo was just snoozing with its head like this. ha

On another note I have just finished up the cleanse phase of my 24 day challenge.  And I am LOVING it!!!  I have so much more energy throughout my days, I don't feel sluggish by mid afternoon, and I'm not ready for bed at like 7pm (imagine that!)  And on top of it, I can tell I am already toning up.  Yesterday when I put my jeans on I realized my pesky little love handles were GONE!!! Wahoo...so excited to see what the rest of the challenge brings :)
