A Warm Winter Day

Animals at the Denver Zoo

 Today was free day at the Denver Zoo. We got there right when it opened and had a blast. The animals were very active today! Nate asked lots of great questions and even told someone that he'd like to be a scientist when he grows up. The zoo volunteer asked if he wanted to work at the zoo and he said, "No, I just want to be a normal scientist!" haha! We also saw an elephant that weighed in at 12,000lbs.
